"Sing My Song" lyrics - 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
We 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 times
It 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
And I'll sing for you
I want the whole wide world to sing it too

Give it a big [...], but not too hard
So all the grannies can have a [...]
Sing it full of feeling, break a few hearts
See you in the chart

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
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
So come on, sing with me
And I'll sing with you
I want the whole wide world to sing it too

So come on, sing my song...
