One Note Samba

This is just a little samba

Built upon a single note

Other notes are bound to follow

But the root is still that note

Now this new one is the consequence

Of the one we've just been through

As I'm bound to be the unavoidable

Consequence of you

There's so many people who

Can talk and talk and talk

And just say nothing, or nearly nothing

I have used up all the skill I know

And at the end I've come to nothing

Or nearly nothing

So, I come back to my first note

As I must come back to you

Anyone who wants the whole show

Re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do

He will find himself with no show

Better play the note you know

This is just a little samba

Built on one single note

This is just a little samba

Built upon a single note

Other notes are bound to follow

But the root is still that note

Now, this new one is the consequence

Of the one we've just been through

As I'm bound to be the unavoidable

Consequence of you

There's so many people who

Can talk and talk and talk

And just say nothing, or nearly nothing

I have used up all the skill I know

And at the end I've come to nothing

Or nearly nothing

So, I come back to my first note

As I must come back to you

Anyone who wants the whole show

Re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do

He will find himself with no show

Better play the note you know

This is just a little samba
