Malvina Reynolds - Sings the truth (1966)

I don't know much about much,

And what I don't know I don't say,

And when I have nothing to say,

I'm quiet.

Chorus:

When there's occasion to holler, I'll buy it.

I can make noise with the best.

But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.

I've made mistakes in the past,

Things that I blush over yet,

But I hardly ever regret

Having been quiet.

(Chorus)

I have a T.V. at home

And I do truly enjoy it.

I can just leave it alone

And it's quiet.

(Chorus)

I'm not unsociable, no,

People are fine in repose;

Somehow my favorites are those

Who are quiet.

(Chorus)

Quiet's a wonderful sound,

Sweeter than oboe or fiddle,

Someday I'm going to be found in the middle

Of quiet.

(Chorus)

Sing me a song of the sea

Soft as the breath of a breeze,

Sing me to sleep and then please

Keep quiet.
