Keep it quick, say it brief
If it's fast, it will be a relief
Short on time, that's a gift
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Disparate parts, desperate hearts
Pulled through a sieve
Hand me a chart, so I know how to start to say
This is all I can give
To summarize seems incomplete
How novel is a novel that can fit on one sheet
It seems that I'm destined to fail
To compress myself to the size of a thumbnail

Keep it quick, say it brief
If it's fast, it will be a relief
Short on time, that's a gift
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the -

Don't like what's revealed here
When your depth of field's near, it's hard to come close
Chip stones from the boulder
Suddenly, my vulnerability shows
Oh, you can crop and trim, 'till all that's left
Is the essence of a presence that is feeling bereft
Of a guard in just the gist of a tale
That is less of an image, and more of a thumbnail

Keep it quick, say it brief
If it's fast, it will be a relief
Short on time- that's a gift
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
