Tom Lehrer - N Apostrophe T Lyrics

Isn't it a lovely day?
No, it isn't
Could you come outside and play?
No, I couldn't
Did you ever take a hike?
No, I didn't
How'd you like to ride my bike?
Frankly, I wouldn't
Isn't, couldn't, didn't, wouldn't, is that all you can say?
Isn't, couldn't, didn't, wouldn't, yes, now go away
The sweetest sound to me
It stands for "Not"
I like it a lot
It's spelled N apostrophe T

Have you ever tried to smile?
No, I haven't
Won't you try it for a while?
No, I won't
Are there games to play in there?
No, there aren't
Then why d'you like to stay in there?
Frankly, I don't
Haven't, won't, aren't, don't, is that all you can say?
Haven't, won 't, aren't, don't, and I said "Go away"
Grouches all agree
We get a glow
From saying "No"
With N apostrophe T

Do you talk to anyone?
No, I don't
Come on out and have some fun
No, I couldn't
Can't you even tell me why?
No, I can't
Will it kill you just to try?
Well, I shouldn't
Don't, couldn't, can't, shouldn't, now try it once my way

Do
Do
Could
Could
Can
Can
Should
Should, hey, that feels okay
So come along with me
I'll give it a try
And say goodbye
To N apostrophe
N apostrophe
N apostrophe T
