The Cootees (Blank) lyrics

Me and Tom sat down one night, our goal was to write a song
We didn't want it to be too short but we didn't want it too long

We can write about politics, we can write about the world
We can write about ourselves, we can write it about girls
But what went through our heads was to write about this song instead

Tom picked up his guitar and he started playing a tune

Some words went through my head and I started singing them too

We can write about our friends, we can write about being blue
We can write about something else, we can write about being without you
But what went through our heads was to write about this song instead
