The Notes You Don’t Play

[Intro: Hopscotch]
The smarmy four
Will surely adore all the flourishes
That I have in store for them

It's time to show
The new range my voice has
Now that I've had a taste of the choicest jazz

[Verse 1: Hopscotch]
I've seen him before
What does he have in store for me
Lock the door, 'cause I'm sure it's no dream

He must've known that I've riffed
And the boys will be miffed to know
That my gift caused a swift final blow

Seems there's nobody here
But I'm not in the clear alone
Jazzman's near, they'll know my fear through the phone

[Bridge: Hopscotch]
I thought I could experiment with accidentals
But now it seems I can't sing without ornamentals

[Verse 2: Hopscotch]
The Jazzman has come, and I can't get away
This is one note that I shouldn't have played

I made a mistake, but I can fix it today
If I just focus on the notes that I don't play

But I can play hardball if you need me to
Oh Jazzman, I'm coming for you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 3: Hopscotch, The Jazzman]
Went too deep in the jazz, but you know what they say
It's all about the notes that you don't pla-a-a-a-a-a-ay

I made a mistake, but I can fix it today
If I just focus on the notes that I don't—
Play with me, lalalalalalalala (evil laughter)
