A Meaningless Song
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Elton John (Your Song)
They’re a little bit funny, these songs that we play
They’re a little bit funny, these songs that we play
We’re happy that most of you, decided to stay
We’re happy that most of you, decided to stay
You didn’t pay money, but, boy, if you had
You didn’t pay money, but, boy, if you had
you might want a refund, cause this one’s bad
you might want a refund, cause this one’s bad
If we could write music, heh, but then again, no
If we could write music, heh, but then again, no
or write beautiful lyrics that would, cause tears to flow, we
or write beautiful lyrics that would, cause tears to flow, we
know it’s not much, but it’s the best we can do
know it’s not much, but it’s the best we can do
Our gift is the laughter, we give to you
Our gift is the laughter, we give to you
And you can tell everybody, we ruined “Your Song”
And you can tell everybody, we ruined “Your Song”
We messed with a masterpiece and, now that it's done
We messed with a masterpiece and, now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that we turned Elton John’s
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that we turned Elton John’s
most beautiful tune into, a meaningless song
most beautiful tune into, a meaningless song
I sat on the couch, and kicked off my shoes
I sat on the couch, and kicked off my shoes
Well, I turned, on some music, and I started, to snooze
Well, I turned, on some music, and I started, to snooze
Then I got excited, when I heard this song
Then I got excited, when I heard this song
I thought I could improve it, boy, was I wrong
I thought I could improve it, boy, was I wrong
So excuse me forgetting, a critical thing
So excuse me forgetting, a critical thing
You see, I've forgotten, what’s the next, line to sing
You see, I've forgotten, what’s the next, line to sing
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
I’m glad that they put the words, up on the screen
I’m glad that they put the words, up on the screen
And you can tell everybody, we ruined “Your Song”
And you can tell everybody, we ruined “Your Song”
We messed with a masterpiece and, now that it's done
We messed with a masterpiece and, now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that we turned Elton John’s
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that we turned Elton John’s
most beautiful tune into, a meaningless song
most beautiful tune into, a meaningless song
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that we turned Elton John’s
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that we turned Elton John’s
most beautiful tune into, a meaningless song
most beautiful tune into, a meaningless song
