LYRICS

[Intro]
Writing for a living, is it easy to do?
I have a super simple tip just for you.
I’ll share it at the end if you don’t mind…
So keep on listening, be so kind!
[Chorus]
Writing’s fun, but it takes time.
Maybe get help with a glass of wine.
Drunk or sober, it doesn’t matter.
But honestly? I prefer the latter.
[Bridge]
Today AI is all the rage,
it helps you get stuff on the page.
Use it wisely, always check – legalities
… don’t break your neck.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Here’s a tip to get you started,
While your book is being plotted.
Always read your words aloud.
Omit the stumbles, strike them out.
[Bridge]
When you read words in silence,
eyes see what they want to see,
edit errant words with glee.
[Chorus]
Writing’s fun, but it takes time.
Maybe get help with a glass of wine.
Drunk or sober, it doesn’t matter.
But honestly? I prefer the latter.
[Verse]
Here is my best tip of all:
The magic’s in the editing.
Don’t worry now, just get it done.
You’re very close to finishing.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
When your book is in your hands
Doesn’t it feel great?
Congrats, you’re now an Author!
Hip, Hip, Hip, Hurray!
[Instrumental]
Drunk or sober, it doesn’t matter.
But honestly? I prefer the latter.
[Bridge]
Today AI is all the rage,
it helps you get stuff on the page.
Use it wisely, always check – legalities
… don’t break your neck.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Hip, Hip, Hip, Hurray!
