Look what they done to my song ma 

Look what they done to my song ma

It was the only thing that I could do half right 

And it's turning out all wrong ma 

Look what they done to my song 



Look what they done to my brain ma 

Look at what they done to my brain 

Well they picked it like a chicken bone 

And I think I'm half insane ma 

Look what they done to my song 



Oh I wish I could find a good book

To live in 

Oh I wish I could find a good book 

Well if I could find a real good book 

I'd never have to come out and look at 

What they done to my song 



Maybe it'll all be all right ma 

Maybe it'll all be OK

Well if the people are buying tears 

Then I'm gonna be rich someday ma 

Look what they done to my song 



Look what they done to my song, ma 

Ma Ma look look what they done to my song 

You know they tied it up in a plastic bag 

And they turned it upside down ma 

Ma Ma look at what they done

Won't you look at what they done

Look what they done to my song.



Ils ont change ma chanson, ma 

Ils ont change ma chanson, ma

C'est la seule chose que je peux faire 

Et ce n'est pas bon, ma. 

Ils ont change ma chanson.
