what would i say if you sang out of tune?

i wouldn't stand up and walk out
but i'd put the tuning fork to your ear
until you could hum to it

hootenanny my mother annie
another thought that might make me
change my mind
change my shirt
and change my way of eating pasta

why do you think i cannot hear you
when you're standing right
between my ears

magnum sum
cogito ergo
sum ergo cogito
und so und so und sowieso
until the ducks and the chickens
and the me
are all elwedritchens
wading through a fountain
in the Pfalz

bringing color to the wine street
and sunshine to the wet cold north
