Lyrics[]

If you got a minute
Get down your idea
It might do wonders
Maybe disappear

Who knows, just get it down
And nothing can go wrong
Go find your rhythm
That’s how you write a song

Enjoy the small things
With time they will get big
Gotta find your mission
A mission to pursue

You know you got a talent
Whatever it may be
So work your magic
And sing along with me

Step one, believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two, just roll with it
That’s how you write a song

Sing, shoo-bee-doo-bee dab dab
Sha-ba-da-da hey
Sing it all day long (All day long)
And that’s how you write a song

Scoo-bee-doo-bee bap bap
Boogie boogie woogie
Sing it all day long (All day long)
See, that’s how you write a song

Step one, believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two, just roll with it
That’s how you write a song

Step one, believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two, just roll with it
That’s how you write a song

Step one, believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two, just roll with it
That’s how you write a song

Step one, believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two, just roll with it
That’s how you write a song

Step one, believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two, just roll with it
And that’s how you write a song

See, that’s how you write a song
And that’s how you write a song
