about

concocted by Susan West

lyrics

I just wanna write a nice one
I don’t wanna write a mean one
Cuz I wrote a really mean one
Just the other day

I don’t wanna write a snippy one
A snippy lippy dippy jippy one
I just wanna write a pretty song
To end this day

But don’t you know it’s
Smog that makes the sky look pretty
Hunger that makes your food taste good
And you don’t know you’re really happy
Until you get sad

I just wanna write a nice one
A really really really nice one
We don’t need another mean one
Though mean ones always get their way

I just wanna write another pretty one
We don’t need another ugly one
There are already enough ugly ones
I just wanna make you smile

But don’t you know it’s
Smog that makes the sky look pretty
It’s Hunger that makes your food taste good
And you don’t know you’re happy
Until you’re sad

And don’t you know it’s
Crap and rain that make the flowers grow
Pain and suffering that make your juices flow
And you don’t you’re in the middle of good
Till things go bad

And remember
Time goes by before you know it
Please make sure that you don’t blow it
Spread your love around while you still can

And that is why
I just wanna write a nice song
A little shiny happy pretty song
It doesn’t even have to be long
I just wanna write a nice song
