All I need is a pen
And paper
To create the new sky scraper
Or sketch a designer dress
You and I
We don't need fancy tools
Like gadgets for spies
All we need is a scrap of paper
And a pen
To make a hit song
To make the next New York Times Best seller
You think I'm wrong you think I'm a fool
Bit it's the truth
Before you laugh and scoff
And brush me off
Know that before the end
There was a beginning
After the beginning
There is the end
In the end,
You're most likely to be on the top
And say
"It started with a piece of paper
And an inky pen!"
