Lyrics

Nanana

Writing songs that I think sound so strange

Writing words that I feel I should change

It's all right if they sound just like other songs

My guitar strums along just the same

If this song's underlined with my name

Nanana na nana na na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na

Playing games that I think may be wrong

Making sounds that can go on and on

It's all right if you stay right on to the end

If my song could've been just a bore

Then I hope you may come back for more

Nanana na nana na na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na na

Nanana na nana na na na na na...
