Malvina Reynolds - It Turned Out to Be a Song lyrics

Some people bake a cookie, Some people fly an aeroplane, Some people turn a shovel over And up comes a field of grain. I was just walking along Thinking of this and that, And a hat and a cat and a baseball bat, A bee in a tree and a city in the sea. And a ping, pong, Swing the gong, And it turned out to be a song. Some people read a story, Some people eat an apple pie, Some people sit at the open window, Watching the stars go by. I was just walking along Thinking of here and there, And a kitchen chair, and some natural hair, A garden swing, and a circus ring, And a ping, pong, Swing the gong, And it turned out to be a song. Some people ride a bicycle, Some people take a walk in the rain, Some people hear a funny noise, And it sounds like a railroad train. I was just walking along Nothing much in my mind, But a window blind, and an orange rind, A hoop and a top, and a skippety hop, And a ping, pong, Swing the gong, And it turned out to be a song.
