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, disparate 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 'til 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
