Well I’m sitting all alone just singing my own song And if it ain’t right at least I know that it ain’t no wrong And there’s nothing in the world I’d rather do than to strum these string and tap these shoes Let the world spin around, around so peacefully Banging out a melody Banging out a melody Yeah, I might as well go right on through the night Because the neighbors are sleeping and the stars are shining bright And the morning soon gonna wake this town The sun come up people scrambling around The birds will soon be singing up in the trees Banging out a melody Banging out a melody Well, my poppa probably never will quite see No, momma will probably never stop worrying about me And there’s nothing more that I can say Time’s gonna wash it all away But I know there is just one way for me Banging out a melody Banging out a melody
