Writing songs that I think sound so strange
Writing words that I feel I should change
It’s all right if they sound just like other songs
My guitar strums along just the same
If this song’s underlined with my name

Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na

Playing games that I think may be wrong
Making sounds that can go on and on
It’s all right if you stay right on to the end
If my song could’ve been just a bore
Then I hope you may come back for more

Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na…
