From the album donovan



All you have to do is write a song

Not too smart now and not too long

Easy to listen to hard to forget

Then we'll cut it and press it

Release it while the words are still wet

All it really takes is to link a few lines

Hang em' on a hook and repeat a few lines

The words need not be committed

Though you'll be if it flops

So we're pickin' out your straight jacket

For the Top of the Pops

When I sing my song

My song of songs

I want the whole wide world

To sing along

Sing for me

I'll sing for you

I want the whole wide world

To sing it too

All they really want is

A witty little ditty

For the Broken hearted kids in

The broken down cities

Make it sort of simple

And make it sort of pretty

And take your time but hurry

'Cos the radio is hungry for your song

Sing my song

My song of songs

I want the whole wide world

To sing along

Sing for me

I'll sing for you

I want the whole wide world

To sing it too
