[Silence]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Bouncy acoustic guitar, light bass, handclaps]<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHere we are
\n(And here we go)
\nAnother song
\n(Another show)<\/p>\n

Just in time
\n(To sing a rhyme)
\nPick-up a beat
\n(To move your feet)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis song…
\n(Is not so long)
\nNo, not so long
\n(Not goodbye)
\nNot see you later
\n(Why not try)
\nA lover… not a hater
\n(And sing along:)
\nThis song…
\n(Is not so long)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSo long
\n(So wrong!)
\nDon’t make it sad
\n(It ain’t that bad)<\/p>\n

A wave goodbye
\n(Can still be high)
\nA smile can say
\n(Come back someday)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nDon’t close the door
\n(We want some more)
\nDon’t turn away
\n(Just press replay)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis song…
\n(Is not so long)
\nNo, not so long
\n(Not goodbye)
\nNot see you later
\n(Why not try)
\nA lover… not a hater
\n(And sing along:)
\nThis song…
\n(Is not so long)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSo…
\n(Long?)
\nSo long!
\n(How long?)
\nNot very long!
\n(How long?)
\nLong enough
\n(To sing this song!)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nNot goodbye!
\n(No!)
\nNot farewell!
\n(Still dwell)
\nNot see you later!
\n(We here to cater)
\nWe’re doing well!<\/p>\n

[Instrumental Jam]
\n[Acoustic guitar \/ bass \/ handclaps]<\/p>\n

So long!
\n(So long!)
\nSo long!
\n(Not too long!)
\nSo long!
\n(Along!)
\nSing along!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis song…
\n(Is not so long)
\nNo, not so long
\n(Not goodbye)
\nNot see you later
\n(Why not try)
\nA lover… not a hater
\n(And sing along:)
\nThis song…
\n(Is not so long)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSo long…
\nNot goodbye…
\n(And, here’s why…)<\/p>\n

One more song!
\nSing along…
\n(And carry on…)<\/p>\n

One more song!
\n(To sing along)<\/p>\n

[Silence]<\/p>\n
