The Spell

The call came in at 9 AM ;
“We’re trying to start you up again.
We need some information, though.”
I rolled my eyes, here I go…

You see it happen every day,
It doesn’t matter what I say,
Someone’s sure to get it wrong.
That’s why I wrote this song.

ONE T, NO C!!!
That’s the way it has to be.
Five letters, no more, no less
But I digress…

This combination can’t be it.
We can’t make all these letters fit.
The same thing happens every time.
Extra letters on my mind

They said, “We all enjoyed the show”
We couldn’t find the author, though
Such a shame, a lovely song
They knew his name but they spelled it wrong.

ONE T, NO C!!!
That’s the way it works for me.
Just five letters, not one more
Extra letters there – what for?

Technology has moved us forth
Society has passed the torch
Yet on we trudge from year to year
ONE T, NO C!!! it’s crystal clear

We’re out to save the world today
We’ll teach the godless how to pray
Protect the weak and feed the poor
Peace and love, and one thing more….

ONE T, NO C!!!
A winning combo – guaranteed
Variations are meaningless
No need for your excessiveness

ONE T, NO C!!!
Everyone, repeat with me
Here’s the key to happiness:
ONE T, NO C!!! I must insist.

THE SPELL
