Lyrics

Can I make you do the mash potato
Or can I deliver the gravy enough to save you
It's all been done before
Leave your expectations by the door
What chords fit right
Enough to make you feel out of sight
Stop me if you've heard this one
It's the same its a copy its been done

I could write a really catchy chorus
But it's already been done before
And to play one for the history books
But it's already been done before
Because there's only 12 notes that you can play
And they've already been done before
When you think you have an idea of your own
Well it's already been done before

Can I make you do the twist
Or will I make you get the fits
You've seen and heard it all
We robbed Peter to go and pay Paul
Will it all sound the same
Or will we rise to meet our aim
The same old song and dance
Or is the magic all left up to chance

I could write a really catchy chorus
But it's already been done before
And to play one for the history books
But it's already been done before
Because there's only 12 notes that you can play
And they've already been done before
When you think you have an idea of your own
Well it's already been done before

Can we get it right
Or will I make you start a fight
We think you've heard it again
Back to front and back to where you've been
Can I make you scream and shout
Or will you get on the internet and pout
Everything has been done before
Nothing original left anymore

I could write a really catchy chorus
But it's already been done before
And to play one for the history books
But it's already been done before
Because there's only 12 notes that you can play
And they've already been done before
When you think you have an idea of your own
Well it's already been done before
