think i'll write a song

smoggy day in l.a. think i'll write a song

know exactly what to say

shouldn't take too long

first i'd better clear my head

feed the baby

make the bed

should eat breakfast but instead

think i'll write a song

did i hear the doorbell?

just as i sat down

time to say a farewell

someone's leaving town

god be in your heart

my friend

glad to see you're on the mend

hate to bring this to an end but

thought i'd write a song

la la la la la

the melody keeps running through my head

la la la la

the kind of song you sing alone

foggy day in l.a. think i'll write a song

know exactly what to say

shouldn't take too long

now i hear the telephone

guess another morning's blown

seems my time is not my own

tried to write a song

thought i'd write a song
