I'm supposed to
sing a silly song about
a sunny summer Sunday, 
slowly sipping sake
while sinking in the stream. 

But they won't let me! 
They keep interrupting 
and so, I don't know 
which way to sing. 

Do I sing about 
that sunny summer Sunday? 
Or, do I sing about 
simply wanting to sing? 

Which way will I do it? 
I haven't quite decided. 
And so I sing this
not really silly thing. 

I'm singing me this song 
just to clear my mind a touch. 
I'm singin' me a song,
just to make me feel better. 

And it might be,
that this might be, 
a sunny summer Sunday, 
but I'm not right 
because I wanted
to sing a different song! 
A really different song! 

But I'm stuck here singing
this little song because 
they keep interrupting me. 
They keep interrupting me, me, me! 
I should pay more attention
to what they really want. 

They're just trying to show me
the cool things in their games. 
But still, you know I really
want to sing my silly song 
about the sunny summer Sunday 
or maybe slowly sipping sake
while I'm sinking in the stream! 

But I'm not doing that, oh no! 
I'm just singing about singing today. 
But I'm not doing that, you know. 
I'm just singing and frowning. Oh, hey. 
I should think better thoughts 
and sing better songs, 
and think kinder thoughts, 
but I'm just kicking this thought all around 
like an old tin can. 

Like a little kid kicking 
a can on a sunny 
summer Sunday back, back 
when they did such things 
before they switched to the TV 
and playing video games. 

Sunny
summer
Sunday
sitting
sipping
sake
slowly
sinking
in the
stream. 

That's all I wanted to sing about. 
That's all I wanted it to be about, but 
I didn't get that oh, no I didn't. 
Because I was interrupted.
