Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is just a little samba
Built up on a single note
Other notes are bound to follow, but the route is still that note
Now this new one is a consequence of the one we just went through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
[Verse 2]
There are so many people who can talk and talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing
[Verse 3]
So I come back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Rae Me Fa So La Di Doe
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
[Verse 4]
There are so many people who can talk and talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing
[Verse 5]
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
