Song  Simple Turn of Phrase (Key of C)

Well, I'm not much to look at
My belly gets in the way
Of you seeing all my attractions
Lined up like a wildcat play

And I know I'm not the most successful
Man you'll meet around town
But darlin' just like Bozo
I'm gonna turn your frown upside down

Maybe I'm amazed
I could turn your heart around
With a simple turn of phrase
Like the tears of a clown
With just a chance when you looked in my eyes
You ordered me up like a side of fries
And now we're living the good old days
Because of a simple turn of phrase

Now I am not a wordsmith
Though my feet are Longfellows you know
And scrabble ain't my cup of tea
I'm more stop than I am go

But all it took for you to give me a look
Was a quick shot reused rhyme
I'm a simple man with a simple plan
And I'm leaving my eraser behind

Maybe I'm amazed
I could turn your heart around
With a simple turn of phrase
Like the tears of a clown
With just a chance when you looked in my eyes
You ordered me up like a side of fries
And now we're living the good old days
Because of a simple turn of phrase
