Lyrics[]
I'd like to say hello and welcome you
Good day that is my name
Come here and sit down
I'm so glad you even really truly came
We can even go and take a walk or something like that or something like that
But first I need to introduce my what and introduce my when
Let us sing
Its name I like to call
It likes to say it's nothing
(It's nothing)
It lives and breathes and it insists that it insists that it is something
(It's something)
It never liked to speak or run or walk or sleep or eat
It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take its seat
Looking through glass eyes
Give it a few tries
Nothing goes right in its time
Kill all its bad dreams
Wonder 'bout no things
Circles and spirals in mind
But we know that this song is not about a no or yes or why
What's really truly what I say is that about a little sigh
So come along I think I'm done I think we're done yes this is done
What's truly that I think about it and it thinks about a ton
Let us sing
Looking through glass eyes
Give it a few tries
Nothing goes right in its time
Kill all its bad dreams
Wonder 'bout no things
Circles and spirals in mind
I thought you knew I knew but
why and by and why and by and by
I wanted you to know I thought you knew
but why and by and why
Let us sing, let us sing
Let us sing, let us sing
Let us sing, let us sing
Let us sing, let us sing
Birds and bees and television (let us sing, let us sing)
Cardboard houses, x-ray vision (let us sing, let us sing)
Many little silly rhymes (let us sing, let us sing)
Things forgotten lost their time (let us sing, let us sing)
Telephones and silly games (let us sing, let us sing)
Periods and lots of question marks (let us sing)
