Hey Matt - Walter Martin, Matt Berninger

Hey Matt, hey Matt

Here’s the thing

You know I love writing songs but I can’t sing

Need a little advice or something

Just a couple of pointers so I gave Matt a ring

I don’t want to waste your time

I’m sure your on the road, driving all night

But Matt I could use some advice

Cause I’ve been off key, all my life

It’s time I learned to sing, that’s why I’m giving you a ring

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger}

Hey Walt, hey Walt

Here’s the deal

If you sing too high it’s got no appeal

If you sing too low it don’t sound real

So close your eyes, Walt, and sing what you feel

You know Walt, I’ve got a little exercise we could try, repeat after me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Okay that’s pretty good let’s try ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And Walt don’t waste your time, singing about love and lonely nights

Cause no one’s gonna pay a dime to stand line to hear you whine

You gotta sing something new

Just try to keep it in tune

Lord knows that’s all I do

Hey Matt, I guess that’s all

You know I really appreciate you taking my call

For helping me out with my singing and all

You know Matt, you’ve got a very special voice

I admit, for this song, you weren’t my first choice

You see Matt I tried to get Randy Newman

Randy Newman never actually responded

Thanks for stepping in Matt, it really means a lot

Thanks Matt

Yeah I did actually

Yeah I know

I don’t really know, I’m thinking maybe he thought my organ playing was too

flashy or something

I don’t know, or maybe he’s not into hand-claps, you know

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
