One Note Samba

Lyrics

This is just a little samba
 Built upon one single note
 Other notes are bound to follow
 But the root is still this note
 Now this new one is the consequence
 Of the ones, 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 the one note
 As I must come back to you
 I will pour into this one note
 All the love I feel for you
 There are those who want the whole show
 Dó-ré-mi-fá-lá-ti-dó
 He will find himself with no show
 Better play the note you know
 ♪
 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 this one note
 As I must come back to you
 I will pour into this one note
 All the love I feel for you
 Now there are those who want the whole show
 Polka dot to indigo
 He will find himself with no show
 Better play the note you know
 La-la-la-la-la-la, one note
