Look what they've done to my song, ma. (2x)
It was the only thing,
That I could do half right,
And it's turning out all wrong, ma.
Look what they've done to my song.

Look what they've done,
To my brain, ma.
Look what they've done,
To my brain.
Well they picked it,
Like a chickenbone,
And think I'm half insane, ma.
Look what they've done to my song.

Oh, I whished I could find a good book,
To live in.
Oh, I wished 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've done to my song.

Ils ont change ma chanson, ma. (2x)
C'est la seule chose,
Que je peux faire.
Et ce nést pas bon, ma.
Ils ont change ma chanson.

Maybe it'll be alright, ma.
Maybe it'll be ok.
Well, if the people are buying tears,
Then I'm gonna be rich someday, ma.
Look what they've done to my song.

Look what they've done to my song, ma.
Ma, Ma, look,
Look what they've done to my song.
You know they tied it up,
In a plastic bag,
And they turned it upside down,
Ma.
Ma, Ma, look what they done.
Won't you look at what they've done?
Look what they done to my song.
