Lyrics:

I'm going downstairs to be a poetGot a great idea: gonna write a sonnetA verse or two of fearless proseA priceless quip to gild the roseI'll make my fortune overnightMy work will set the world alightJust a line is all I needJust a thought to sow the seedJust a word to start me out.The rest will come without a doubtI'm going downstairs to write a bookGot a great idea's gonna really cookA rattling good yarn with an ironic twistA riveting ending that's not to be missedMakesure the presses are ready to steamThis book is a scorcher, a publisher's dreamJust the first part's all I needThe rest will come with lightning speedJust a line to set the stage.My pen will dance across the pageI'm going downstairs to write a playGot a great idea gonna make it payThis serious drama won't be understoodThe critics will love it and say that it's good
