Lyrics for Completely Unoriginal

How Many Songs? How Many Themes? Let me count them all. Bearing in Mind Rodgers and Hammerstein They wrote songs and used names that were mine They were all one Gilbert and Sullivan They wrote songs that were thought up by me They're Completely Unoriginal And I know them all Completely Unoriginal Not original at all. Millions of themes Long lasting evergreens They used ill names that were written by me Millions of books Just take a second look They could be pages written by me They're Completely Unoriginal And I know them all Completely Unoriginal Not original at all. Well Children Let me show you an example of what I mean 1940 I'm coming home mother To our cottage in the glare Try and rise my mother You'll never cry again Agh, not Bearing in Mind Rodgers and Hammerstein They wrote songs and used names that were mine They were all one Gilbert and Sullivan They wrote songs that were thought up by me 'Pletely Unoriginal Completely Unoriginal They're completely unoriginal And I know the all Completely Unoriginal Not original at all Not original at all Not original at all
