How to Write a Song Harry Nilsson

How to write a song...

If you write it on guitar
Place your guitar upon your knee
If you write it on piano
Don't do that

Place your fingers on the
Strings of your guitar
Not your piano
If you write it on piano, don't do that

Now strum or press to get a feeling
This might take a little time
Now think of something sad or something funny
Which inevitably brings us to the rhyme

Let's assume you're just an asshole
And there's nothing in your brain
It might help if you remember
These helpful little hints

Don't try to rhyme silver with anything yeah
That goes for orange as well
Now notice how cleverly
I just used them both
And all I have to do
Is rhyme well
