lyrics

I would like to find something that might blow my mind.
I think I might like to find
a really lovely song!
But, this is not that song.

No, this is the cusp of it.
This is not a lovely song.
But, maybe the next one will be better?
This is the cusp of a better song.

A better song might follow it.

How could I change this song today?
To make a better song from it.
I might see a better song
if I look over the edge.

How would you like to sing this song?
How would you like to sing it today?

I think I might change it up!
I think I might change it up!
I will sing a different, different song!

I think I will change it up!
I think I will change it up!
I will sing it very different and long!

So, you see, I've sung it differently.
I hope it pleases me, me, me!
I don't care so much for you,
because I made this just for me.

And so I see, at the cusp
a different, different song as well!
And so I see, at this song
the cusp it brings me never well.

Wait! I wanted a better song!
A song that I could sing very long.
Wait! I wanted a better song!
But this is not it today.

This is not it today.

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
