I Know Them So Well

Nothing’s good enough to hear eternally
Sometimes you get tired of a song
But this has never hindered anyone
Singing just the same all quarter long.

This girl here, she could have sung a different tune–
Maybe something really loud and swell.
The same old songs keep cropping up again.
Now at least I know I know them well.

Wasn’t it good?
Wasn’t it fine?
But I’ve been counting–
Here’s thirty-nine!
Couldn’t I see
How it would be?
If I’m sick of the part,
Why do I know it by heart!?

Wasn’t it good?
Wasn’t it fun?
Isn’t it tragic
It’s overdone?
I hope next week we’ll hear a
Couple of other songs
More original.
I know these so well.
I would like to hear some new songs.
I know them so well.
