One Note Samba

one note samba

to-music

this is just a little samba

built upon a single note

other notes are sure to follow

but the root is still that note

now this new note 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 i mean 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

any one who wants

the whole show show do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ci-do

he will find himself with no show

better play the note you know
