Sham Song (Chanson)
(c) 2020 At Swim-Two-Birds Music
verse 1
Well, I found a shamrock
But I was looking for a real rock
And I got shampoo
Because I couldn’t find real poo
chorus
So I wrote a sham song
Before I ever wrote a real song
And you can sing along
Because it doesn’t go real long
verse 2
Yes, I drink champagne
Because I never feel real pain
And I use a chamois
Because I couldn’t find the real me
chorus
verse 3
Now I need a shanty
’Cause I’ve run out of real tea
Won’t you sing one to me?
(And now I’m talking ’bout the real me)
chorusw
chorus repeats:
So I wrote a sham song
Before I ever wrote a real song
And you can *all* sing along
Because it doesn’t go real long
