Loading...

[william finn]
all i’m asking for is a tune
something itchy to tap my toes to
something that, in late afternoon
makes high-strung boys collapse
mister, perhaps you need some refreshment
what about some oolong?

oh, make me a song!
make me a song, boy!
drag out the ukuleles!
this israeli’s
gonna fill the air!

write me a thing that’s here for all time
like tennis or mahjong
and mister, make me a song…

all i’m asking for is a mood
something hot and not literary
maybe something raucous and crude
that keeps me on my toes
n-body knows the wounds i keep hidden
i’ve hid them for too long!

so make me a song!
make me a song, boy!
drag out my deepest feeling
i’m revealing
everything raw inside

keep the harmonics simple and pure
let’s keep the rhythm strong!
and mister, make me a song…

(spoken)
i don’t want lifeless
no, no, no, no!
don’t give me lifeless-
come on, vadim, come on!

(sung)
i want a song that i can
swing! one two three four five six seven!
something with glory
that tells a story-

(spoken)
good, vadim-

(sung)
a song with hope, and joy, and spring!
make each moment melt in my throat!
all i’m asking for is perfection!
make each measure and every note
so wicked i could die
i’ll tell you why i love to make music:
i feel like i’m king kong!

so make me a song!
make me a song, boy!
try not to fancy up it!
i’m your puppet!
sit down, and have a ball

i am enthralled to getting it right
so i won’t get it wrong!
and mister, make me a song!
mister-

(spoken)
come on, come on, come on, vadim!

-make me a song
come on, make me a song
come on, make me a
song
