[Joey]
   A-B-C-D-E-G
   I never learned to spell
   At least not well.
   1-2-3-4-5-6-7
   I never learned to count
   A great amount.
   But my busy mind is burning
   To use what learning I've got.
   I won't waste any time,
   I'll strike while the iron is hot.
   If they asked me, I could write a book
   About the way you walk and whisper and look.
   I could write a preface on how we met
   So the world would never forget.
   And the simple secret of the plot
   Is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
   Then the world discovers as my book ends
   How to make two lovers a friend.
  
   [Linda]
   Use to hate to go to school
   I never cracked a book;
   I played the hook.
   Never answered any mail;
   To write I used to think was wasting ink.
   It was never my endeavor
   To be too clever and smart.
   Now I suddenly feel
   A longing to write in my heart.
   If they asked me, I could write a book
   About the way you walk and whisper and look.
   I could write a preface on how we met
   So the world would never forget.
   And the simple secret of the plot
   Is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
   Then the world discovers as my book ends
   How to make two lovers a friend.
