Not many people can do it like this
How about some speakers to amplify me
How about a rhyme to fortify me

Simplifying things for everybody

All that I need's a bit o' practice

I need someone who's true
Someone who does the laundry too

Please don't forget to follow-through
I take my diamond shoes
Someone who tries to be on time
Do what you said you'll do
I hope you like to follow-through
