CAN'T BEAT POETRY

You can sail around the world
You can get yourself a girl
   You can have a cup of coffee
   You can have a cup of tea
   But you can't beat poetry
     Da dum...da dum

You can drive across the land
You can find yourself a man
   You can have a cup of coffee
   You can have a cup of tea
   But you can't beat poetry
     Da dum...da dum

You can pull a thousand strings
You can get a thousand things
   You can have a cup of coffee
   You can have a cup of tea
   But you can't beat poetry
     Da dum...da dum

You can make yourself a name
You can find yourself some fame
   You can have a cup of coffee
   You can have a cup of tea
   But you can't beat poetry
     Da dum...da dum

If you've got to have some fun
If you've got to get it done
   You can have a cup of coffee
   You can have a cup of tea
   But you can't beat poetry
     Da dum...da dum
