Looking for a song About 3.30 long A song that I can sing It don't need no complicating theme I'd better take you further away And back this is the base Some things that got away It don't need no complicating theme Complicating theme It ain't as easy as it looks Coming up with all these hooks Remember that it has to swing It don't need no complicating theme Do you feel you want to play Well if you do that's OK Maybe add a little sting It don't need no complicating theme Complicating theme We're going over this bridge Quite fast like we always do Somewhere at about the middle of the last After chorus two Here we got the drums bass and guitars And a teacher too And we're going to a town near you Looking for a song Looking for a song Looking for a song About 3.30 long A song that I can sing It don't need no complicating theme A melody with verbal rage About this little pain Something had got a ring It don't need no complicating theme Complicating theme Yeah it ain't as easy as it looks Coming up with all these hooks Remember that it has to swing It don't need no complicating theme Do you feel you want to play Well if you do then that's OK Maybe add a little sting It don't need no complicating theme Complicating theme It don't need no complicating theme
