Allemande Left, Right and Left Grand

Look what they’ve done to my song, Promenade

Well, it’s the only thing I could do half right

It’s turning out all wrong, ma

Look what they’ve done to my song

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look at what they've done to my song, ma
It was the only thing I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma, look
What they've done to my song

 

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song, ma
It was the only thing I could do half right
Turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song

 

Look what they've done to my brain, ma
Look at what they've done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think that I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to my song

 

Oh, I wish that I could find a good book to live in
Oh, I wish that I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they've done to my song

 

Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson

 

But maybe, it'll all be all right, ma
Maybe, it'll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
Then I'm gonna be rich girl some day, ma
Look what they've done to my song

 

Look what they've done to my song, ma-ma-ma
Look, look what they've done to my song
You know, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And then turned it upside down, oh ma-ma
Look at what they've done
Want to look at what they've done, oh ma-ma
Look what they've done to my song
