Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song
Well it's the only thing
That I could do half right and it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they done to my song

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

I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish 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 done to my song

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Look what they done to my song

But maybe it'll all be alright, ma
Maybe it'll all be okay
Well if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday, ma
Look what they done to my song

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

Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down, ma
Look what they done to my song

Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song
It's the only thing that I could do alright
And they turned it upside down
Oh ma - look what they done to my song
