One Note Samba

This is just a little samba

Built upon a single note

Other notes are bound to follow

But the root is still that note

Now this new note is the consequence

of the one we've just been through

As I'm bound to be the unavoidable

consequence of you

There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk

and just say nothing or nearly nothing

I have used up all the scale I know and at the end

I've come to nothing or nearly nothing

So I come back to my first note as I must come back to you

Any one who wants the whole show dó-ré-mi-fá-sol-lá-ti-dó

He will find himself with no show better play the note you know

This is just a little samba
