Hey Matt |
Hey Matt, hey Matt |
Here’s the thing |
You know I love writing songs but I can’t sing |
Need a little advice or something |
Just a couple of pointers so I gave Matt a ring |
I don’t want to waste your time |
I’m sure your on the road, driving all night |
But Matt I could use some advice |
Cause I’ve been off key, all my life |
It’s time I learned to sing, that’s why I’m giving you a ring |
[Verse 2: Matt Berninger} |
Hey Walt, hey Walt |
Here’s the deal |
If you sing too high it’s got no appeal |
If you sing too low it don’t sound real |
So close your eyes, Walt, and sing what you feel |
You know Walt, I’ve got a little exercise we could try, repeat after me |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Okay that’s pretty good let’s try ah |
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah |
And Walt don’t waste your time, singing about love and lonely nights |
Cause no one’s gonna pay a dime to stand line to hear you whine |
You gotta sing something new |
Just try to keep it in tune |
Lord knows that’s all I do |
Hey Matt, I guess that’s all |
You know I really appreciate you taking my call |
For helping me out with my singing and all |
You know Matt, you’ve got a very special voice |
I admit, for this song, you weren’t my first choice |
You see Matt I tried to get Randy Newman |
Randy Newman never actually responded |
Thanks for stepping in Matt, it really means a lot |
Thanks Matt |
Yeah I did actually |
Yeah I know |
I don’t really know, I’m thinking maybe he thought my organ playing was too |
flashy or something |
I don’t know, or maybe he’s not into hand-claps, you know |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah |
