The Principal Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)
Do you have a problem?
Do you wanna whine?
Do you feel the need for a little more time?
Do you think about a change of scene?
You should go and ask Peggy
for the principal thing
Do you have no money?
Do you wanna know?
What you wanna do and where you wanna go to?
Do you have the foggiest idea what I mean?
You should go and ask Peggy
for the principal thing
If you don't know what it means
It's easier than it seems
If you don't know what it means...
He's got all the keys
You only have to seize
And you know what it means
Do you know what it means?
Do you know what it means?
He was a showgirl
She's been around the world
And everybody knows
Do you feel a dizziness?
Do you wanna know?
Where's above and where's below?
Do you really love it when you're in between?
You should go and ask Peggy
for the principal thing
If you don't know what it means
It's easier than it seems
If you don't know what it means...
