Lyrics:

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 I'm going downstairs to write a book Got a great idea's 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 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 nouvelle 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
