One of These Things Lyrics

[Intro: Bob & Susan]
*series of sounds*
Hey Susan did you hear those sounds?
*series of sounds*
I sure did Bob and that means it's time for a game
Right, so everyone listen very carefully and you can play the game along with us
Okay
Ready?

[Verse 1: Bob & Susan]
One of these sounds is not like the others
One of these sounds doesn't belong
Can you tell which sound is not like the other
By the time we finish our song?

[Interlude: Both]
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo

[Verse 2: Bob & Susan, both]
Did you guess which sound is not like the others?
Did you guess which sound doesn't belong?
If you guessed this sound is not like the others
Then you're absolutely right
[Outro, spoken: Bob & Susan]
Because three of them were...
*three coconut clanks*
Coconuts

And the other one was
*rubber ducky squeaks*
Ernie's rubber ducky

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
