william finn - mister, make me a song lyrics

Loading...

[william finn]
(prerecorded with finn singing and vadim fechtner on piano.)

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 refreshments
what about some oolong?

oh, make me a song
make me a song, boy
drag out the ukulele
this israeli is gonna fill the air!
write me a thing that’s here for all time
like tennis or mahjongg
and mister, make me a song

[adam]
(changes from the precorded tape to the cast recording.)

all i’m asking for is a mood
something hot but not literary
maybe something ruckus and crude
that activates 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 the deepest feeling
i’m revealing
everything raw inside

make the harmonic
simple and pure
let’s keep the rhythms strong
and mister, make me a song

don’t want lifeless
i don’t want lifeless
i want a song that i can swing!
1-2-3-4-5
something with glory
that tells a story-
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

sometimes it’s so confused in my head
the witch is dead, ding-dong, that’s so wrong!
and mister, make me a song!
mister

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

(sung)
make me a song
come on make me a song
