lyrics

Little Violin

I’ve got about four pretty good bars but I want to have a tune
It’s in pieces on a scratchpad, but someday pretty soon
I’m going to put them all together
You can help too, if you want to

You’re a little violin, a quarter sized here in our place
But soon you’ll be a cello, and then a double bass
Or trade your strings for stations, or a rocket off in space
If you want to

Your brother and your overalls
the turtle and your car
The princess and the underground
The flower and the star
The dragon’s spinning fire, kid, the bravest thing I’ve seen
Is you being Super Mario on your first Halloween

(lap steel, guitar, mandolin)

I’m about four pretty good bars but I want to be a tune
I’m in pieces on a scratch pad, but someday pretty soon
I’m gonna get myself together
You can help too, if you want to
