lyrics

It was the end of a long and lonely Monday
It started on the wrong foot
And it ended just the same way

I sat down and wrote my letter to the world

I sharpened pencils till I had an even dozen
Put them in a cup and then I warmed them in the oven

I pushed and pulled on my fingers till they curled

And I started out, “To whom it may concern,
I don’t know your names but I would like to learn”

I sat down and wrote my letter to the world

And I got it right
I got it right
Right down to the letter
Every black line
Growing tall and entwined
In a row
Right down to the letter

I knew that it would be a difficult endeavor
But I was sweating like I just stepped out the shower
Somewhere in the center
Should be a pearl

On a tiny piece of paper, strong and sure
These tiny fingers now I thank you for

I sat down and wrote my letter to the world

And I got it right
I got it right
Right down to the letter
Every black line
Of a similar kind
In a row
Down to the letter

It was the end of a long and lonely Monday
It started on the wrong foot
and it ended just the same way
