One day I just decided
That a songwriter I would be
Not that I could write a song
Just good at poetry
So I started writing lyrics
Not too bad it seemed to be
And now I am a lyricist
As you can plainly see

But I never will be Bacharach
Though my singing’s more on key
‘Cause I don’t play piano
Unless you’re counting Do Re Me
I don’t need to play piano
Got the music in my head
So let others write the music
Even after I am dead

No I never will be Bacharach
Just a lyricist I’ll be
Painting pictures with my words
For everyone to see
Someone else can write the music
That is just how it will be
And anyway Burt Bacharach
Needed someone just like me
