One Note Samba

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.

This is just a little samba,

Built upon a single note

Other notes are bound to follow,

But the root is still that note

Now this new one is the consequence,

Of the one we've just been through

As i'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There's so many people who can talk

And talk and talk and just say nothing,

Or nearly nothing

I have used up all the scale i know, and at the end i've come to nothing,

Or nearly nothing

So i come back to my first note,

As i must come back to you

I will pour into that one note,

All the love i feel for you

Anyone who wants the whole show,

Re mi fa sol la si do

He will find himself with no show,

Better play the note you know
