With millions of songs in the air
What makes a song stratospheric
Creating a pathway to our very souls
With a magical mix of melody and lyrics

A good song is like a beer on a hot day
The infectious giggling of children at play
The gentle trickling of a mountain stream
Finding the perfect lover, even in a dream

A good song lets us shake hands with Mozart
Causes confused, broken minds to fly
Allows us to walk through the streets of Hell
Makes the most cold-hearted soul cry

A good song melts death like hot butter
Sets the most wounded hearts aflutter
Frames agony, and buries it in a pit
Lets us start afresh, with a stiff upper lip

A good song is like a hamburger
When we need a hungry hit
It even lets us laugh at the Devil
And not feel the pain, even a bit

A good song rattles the neurons of the brain
Smooths away love’s heartbreak and pain
A good song is joy, bubbles, and froth
Most of all, a good song knows when to stop

Yes, whether we like it or not
A good song always knows when to stop.
