about

Etcetera was inspired by a somewhat suggestive email I received in the middle of the night at a songwriting workshop in France. I was so stimulated and couldn't sleep... of course I got up and wrote a song! After recording the song I submitted it to the Great American Songwriting Contest and the feedback suggested that the song lacked a chorus. Years later now I've updated the song with a chorus. There were several fun surprises in writing a song over the course of many years!

lyrics

Etcetera

You sent a message to me
Suggesting the theater at three
walk in the park just to see
Or an exhibit at a museum
Or etcetera
Dot dot dot

I especially like your etcetera
I especially like your etcetera

You’d like to take in a show
You sometimes take me in tow
pleasure you rarely forgo
And etcetera

Ooh the way you punctuate
Ooh I just anticipate
I’d Like to Quote You

I especially like your etcetera
I especially like your etcetera

The way that you please with your parentheses
firm emphasis following your ellipse
A question mark that shows up in the dark
But I especially like your etcetera!

You punctuate (but what’s your angle)
You accentuate (Participles dangle)
Ellipse so full (so hard to handle)
I’d Like to Quote You
