I know how to play the recorder
And some chords on a keyboard
I know the names of the notes in order
But I’m not a singer-songwriter

I’m just a poet with a beat
The drums in my head repeat
“I’ll never be famous
I’d rather be anonymous”

I know a bit about music theory
The nostalgia notes from history
The range of Celine and Whitney
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti

I’m just a poet with a beat
The drums in my head repeat
“I’ll never be famous
I’d rather be anonymous”

I won’t assume I’d reach great heights
If I put in effort building a fanbase
Words sound right in the dead of night
But the sunrise knows they’re a waste
