  Two Letters.

  
  

  

  
  

  This is a charming little song, and an amusing songwriting exercise, and you know how sometimes you have one of those things that just pops into your head out of the blue? ... well, I was thinking about this song the other day, hadn't heard it in probably a couple of years, and surprise, surprise, I heard it on the radio the very next day!

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  Do we do as we do as if  it is to be
  Or is it as it is so it is up to me
  Do we do as we do as if it is to be
  Or is it as it is so it is up to me

  
  

  I wrote you two letters
  One said we are free
  One needed more postage and 
  came back to me
  
  Do we do as we do as if it is to be
  Or is it as it is so it is up to me
  Do we do as we do as if it is to be
  Or is it as it is so it is up to me

  
  

  I sent you two letters
  You wrote me one back
  It said this takes two long 
  please e-mail or fax
  
  Do we do as we do as if it is to be
  Or is it as it is so it is up to me
  Do we do as we do as if it is to be
  Or is it as it is so it is up to me

  I warn you, if you do not know this song, don't listen to its tune. Unless you want to be captivated as well! You will find yourself singing it to yourself at odd times, and wondering "where did that come from?"

  
  

  (And in case you haven't figured it out, the entire chorus is made up of 2-letter words)
