lyrics

For some of us
being older means
interruptions.

There are so many interruptions.
So many you can't count!
Sometimes it's your phone!
Sometimes it's your mother-in-law!
Who know what will interrupt you!

You don't know!
You have to be aware!
Watch! Watch out!

You don't know!
You have to be aware!
Watch! Watch out!

So many interruptions.
Sometimes you're the
interruption in your head
and you don't know how to stop.
Interruption here!
And interruption there!

But you just kind of need to
slow down! Slow down!
Slow down and stop!

So many interruptions
but you don't need so many.
Slow down. Take a breather.
Slow down and stop.

You can leave the room.
Leave that device over there.
You can leave the room.
They'll be okay for five minutes I swear!

But you shouldn't leave them that long
Because seven minutes might spell their doom!
But five minutes is prob'ly alright
so you can go to the bathroom.

There are so many interruptions!
So many I can't count!
So many interruptions!
And I just need to...

Slow down. Slow down.
Slow down and think for a little bit.
Slow down. Slow down.
Slow down and be.

Sometimes I want
to just be me.
Sitting in a room
just being me.

Not doing anything.
Not even, no, singing.
Just being me.
All that I can be.

I can do this. Yes, I can!
Even when there are
so many interruptions.
So many I can't count.

But, I have this quiet
in me.
I have this
peace.
Deep within me.

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.
