VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: Thank You for the Music
I’m nothing special; in fact I’m a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you’re probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing ‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk She says I began to sing long before I could talk And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing …
