Making music
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Making music can be a bit of a pose.
The fancy instruments all the clothes.
We want to imitate it's the thing to do
But it's not hard to play a tune.
I knew a guy with broken strings had no larynx couldn't sing.
But this man had music in his heart
Played like an angel from stop to start.
An old harmonica could be just the thing,
Or may be some boxes and pieces of string,
A couple of sticks
A drum or two,
Sing your song
Make it new.
