if i say `she loves you’
is it copyright ?
if you answer `yea yea yea’
is it copyright ?
when i say `yesterday’
in a certain kind of way
do the lawyers bells all ring
to silence what i sing ?

and If i play c, f, g
is it copyright ?
my sweet lord
could now tell george
if it’s copyright
if one tree full of leaves
makes a sound in the breeze
can the forest go to court
and claim some form of royalty ?

if the order of these words
make them copyright
then the words order these if
make them not.
can you write them out somewhere
im saying yes they’re words to share
but wise to check
in case someones claiming
copyright!
