Only a song, it's not set in stone, it's only a song
It's only a poem that could change in the long run, it's only a song
It's what I said then just to make it rhyme
Could have been on my mind at the time
Putting paper to pen, it's only a song, it's only a song
Could be back to front just to get it to work, it's only a song
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it

Only a song when everything's said and done
At the end of the day in the warmth of the sun
It's only a song in the wintry snow (ooh)
When the penguins march along and go home (ooh)
It's only a song

Only a song when everything's said and done
At the end of the day in the warmth of the sun
It's only a song in the wintry snow (ooh)
When the penguins march along and go home (ooh)
It's only a song

Only a song, it's not set in stone, it's only a song (it's only a song)
It's only a poem, it could change in the long run, it's only a song (it's only a song)
It's what I said then just to make it rhyme
Something's on my mind at the time (mind at the time)
It's only a song, it's back to front, just to get it to work now (get it to work)
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it (so I can sing it)
It's only that song, it's not set in stone, it's only a song (it's only a song)
It's only that song, it's only a poem, it's only a song (it's only a song)
