Select language to translate this lyric
I'm going downstairs to be a poet
Got a great idea, gonna write a sonnet
A verse or two of fearless prose
A priceless quip to gild the rose
I'll make my fortune overnight
My work will set the world alight
Just a line is all I need
Just a thought to sow the seed
Just a word to start me out
The rest will come without a doubt, without a doubt
I'm going downstairs to write a book
Got a great idea, gonna really cook
A rattling good yarn with an ironic twist
A riveting ending that's not to be missed
Make sure the presses are ready to steam
This book is a scorcher, a publisher's dream
Just the first part's all I need
The rest will come with lightning speed
Just a line to set the stage
My pen will dance across the page, across the page
I'm going downstairs to write a play
Got a great idea, gonna make it pay
This serious drama won't be understood
The critics will love it and say that it's good
At
last
a
new
writer,
a
true
new
vague
In no time at all I'll be king of the stage
Just a story's all I need
Just a thought to sow the seed
Just a line to start me out
The rest will come without a doubt, without a doubt
