“(I’ve) Got My Mind Set on You,” recorded by James Ray in 1962, was covered by George Harrison in 1987. Al is mimicking the Harrison version and its repetitive lyrics.
[Chorus]
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
[Verse 1]
Couldn't think of any lyrics
No, I never wrote the lyrics
So, I'll just sing any old lyrics
That come to mind, child
You really need words
A whole lotta rhymin' words
You gotta write so many words
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it
To do it right, child
[Chorus]
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
[Verse 2]
I know that you're probably sore
'Cause I didn't write anymore
I just didn't get to complete it
So that's why I gotta repeat it
[Bridge]
This song is just six words long
(Six words long)
This song is just six words long
(Six words long)
[Verse 3]
Oh, I make a lot of money
They pay me a ton of money
They payin' me plenty of money
To sing this song, child
I gotta fill time
Three minutes worth of time
Oh, how will I fill so much time
I'll throw in a solo, a solo, a solo, a solo
A solo here
[Chorus]
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
[Verse 4]
This song's got nothing to say
But I'm recording it anyway
I know that if I put my mind to it
I know I can find a good rhyme here
Oh, you gotta have a music
You really need catchy music
This song's got plenty of music
But just six words, child
And so I'll sing them over
And over and over and over
And over and over and over
And over and over and over
And over, and over
And over again
[Outro]
Six words long
Six words long
Six words long
Six words long
Six words long
Six words long
Six words long
Six words long
