WHAT HAVE THEY DONE
(Look What They Done To My Song, Ma)
Words and Music by
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
WELL, IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DO HALF RIGHT,
AND IT'S TURNIN' OUT ALL WRONG, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY BRAIN, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY BRAIN,
WELL, THEY PICKED IT LIKE A CHICKEN BONE,
AND I THINK I'M HALF INSANE, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
I WISH I COULD FIND A GOOD BOOK TO LIVE IN,
WISH I COULD FIND A GOOD BOOK,
WELL, IF I COULD FIND A REAL GOOD BOOK,
I'D NEVER HAVE TO COME OUT AND LOOK
AT WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
BUT MAYBE IT'LL ALL BE ALRIGHT, MA,
MAYBE IT'LL ALL BE OKAY,
WELL, IF THE PEOPLE ARE BUYING TEARS,
I'LL BE RICH SOMEDAY, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
Ils ont changé ma chanson ma,
Ils ont changé ma chanson,
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire,
Et ce n'est pas bon ma,
Ils ont changé ma chanson,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
WELL, IF THEY TIED IT UP IN A PLASTIC BAG
AND TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG,
IT'S THE ONLY THING I COULD DO ALRIGHT,
AND TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN, MA,
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO MY SONG.
TO MY SONG, MA
