Look what they done to my song, Ma. Look what they done to my song. Well, it's the only thing 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 Da Da Da Da Da Da...
Look what they done to my song.
But maybe it'll all be all right, Ma. Maybe it'll all be okay. Well, if the people are buying tears, I'll be rich some day, 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 bonne, Ma. Ils ont changé ma chanson.
Look what they done to my song, Ma. Look what they done to my song, Ma.
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag, and turned it upside down, 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 bonne, Ma. Ils ont changé ma chanson.
Look what they done to my song, Ma. Look what they done to my song.
Well, it's the only thing I could do all right, and they turned it upside down. Look what they done to my song.
