Why
When I was nine
- When I was nine
- Michael and I
- Entered a talent show down at the y
- 9 AM went to rehearse by some stairs
- Mike couldn't sing
- But I said no one cares
- We sang yellow bird and let's go fly a kite
- Over and over and over
- 'Til we got it right
- When we emerged from the Y M C A
- Three o'clock sun had made the grass hay
- I thought
- Hey what a way to spend a day
- Hey what a way to spend a day
- I make a vow
- Right here and now
- I'm gonna spend my time this way
- When I was sixteen
- Michael and I
- Got parts in west side at white plains high
- Three o'clock went to rehearse in the gym
- Mike played doc who did not sing
- Fine with him
- We sang got a rocket in your pocket
- And the jets are gonna have their day tonight
- Over and over and over
- 'Til we got it right
- When we emerged wiped out by that play
- Nine o'clock stars and moon lit the way
- I thought
- Hey what a way to spend a day
- Hey what a way to spend a day
- I made a vow
- I wonder now
- Am I cut out to spend my time this way
- I'm twenty-nine
- Michael and I
- Live on the west side of soho N Y
- 9 AM I write a lyric or two
- Mike sings his song now on mad avenue
- I sing come to your senses
- Defenses are not the way to go
- Over and over and over
- And over and over and over and over
- 'Til I get it right
- When I emerge from b minor or a
- Five o'clock diner calls I'm on my way
- I think
- Hey what a way to spend a day
- Hey what a way to spend a day
- I make a vow
- Right here and now
- I'm gonna spend my time this way
- I'm gonna spend my time this way
