Lyrics
Paragraph
Could you write a simple paragraph
‘Bout a monkey who was lost in the woods,
Survived on stolen goods till she died?
Ransom note
Could you draft a simple ransom note?
Would you pass it to your friends in the back
And read it to the class when you’re done?
Would you like to write a book?
Would you like to write a book?
Paragraph, Paragraph, ahh
What does it say?
Can you recite us your paragraph?
Paragraph
Start it with a simple paragraph
Keep on writing till it hurts in your wrist,
You’re dead in the head and you’re gone...
