Roots in the sky and branches in the ground
I could murmur melodies without making' a sound
If I were a songbird
Fly around when I want to
If I were a songbird
Baby I would enchant you
If I win
If I win
If I win
It is due
To my skill and my training and my years of study
If she wins
It's cuz' she just got lucky
Now if I were fire
Then will you be my kindred?
If you could see me flyin'
Then baby I should be hindered
If I win
If I win
If I win
It is due
To my skill and my training and my years of study
If she wins
It's Simply luck and she just got lucky
Branches in the sky and roots in the ground
I could write you novels without leavin' this town
As sure as you will flyyyyyyyy
Some day you'll be subterranean
If I were the night
If I were the night (if I were the night)
If I win
If I win
If I win
It is due
To my skill and my training and my years of study
If she wins
If she wins
If she wins
If she wins
If she wins
Mmmm
It is due
To her skill and her training and her years of study
If I win
If I win
If I wiiiiiiiiiiiiin
I'm a fool
An' I jus' got lucky
