DON’T CALL US WE CALL YOU

I found a melody, I found a rhythm
I found a drum, I like to hear ’em
I played guitar, I played piano
And I went so far to sing soprano

I did everything I could
The rhythm rocks as I knew it should
I wrote a letter to a record company
I even lied I was a dancer
I never thought they’d write to me
Today I got the answer

Don’t call us, we call you
We let you know what to do
But don't wait up for too long
Maybe we just don’t like your song

So I took it all out, made a sparse arrangement
I tried not to should and show some engagement
I tried to be modern, go with the kids
I ended up swingin’, and that’s not a hit

So I gave it all and gave it a kick
Altered its call, a melody that sticks
Took all my courage to write a new letter
I really thought my song was much better
