How To Write A Song Lyrics - Sandman - Harry Nilsson

How to write a song 

How to write a song 

How to write a song 

How to write a song 

If you write it on guitar 

Place your guitar upon your knee 

If you write it on piano 

Don't do that 

Place your fingers on the 

Strings of your guitar 

Not your piano 

If you write it on piano, don't do that 

Now strum or press together 

Feeling, this might take a little time 

Now think of something sad or something funny 

Which inevitably brings us to the rhyme

Let's assume you're just an asshole 

And there's nothing in your pain 

It might help if you remember 

These helpful little hints 

Don't try to rhyme (sumba?) with anything 

That goes for homage as well 

But notice how cleverly 

I just used them both 

And all I have to do 

Is rhyme well 

You've got to be tricky 

Because to avoid these words takes talent 

So never ever trap yourself 

Like that, or you'll end up saying words like 

Oh, balent or falent 

Or dalent or 

Oh, I'm sure you'll catch on fast 

Photos 

Now some tips on tempo 

And some subjects to avoid 

Like the use of the word bandit 

Unless you really have to say it 

And that's for 'tempo' 

And if you say 'time' 

That's strictly up to you 

Because that depends on how you play it 

Now let's do (it) once 

Now think of a rhyme 

Now that's it, you're doing fine 

Think of the good time 

We just had together 

If you practice these instructions 

On the board of some new sale 

If you listen very carefully 

I'm sure you'll shout it there 

I said shout 

Shout it 

Why, heheh, That rhymes with talent 

That takes talent 

That is talent 

Oh my God, oh 

Shout it rhymes with talent 

That takes talent 

That is talent 

Oh 

I cannot stand it 

Woah
