Haven’t gotten around to it
Still wondering what it is
Is it in my throat?
Or is it in a brand new coat?
I’ve got it in my head
It’s driving me up the wall
It’s so elusive
Or is it anywhere at all?
We’ll see if I can put in on
Let’s see if I can pull it off
‘Cause when it comes down to the wire
And it’ll come down to the wire
Can you really have it enough?
The children all play in the playground
And they say, “tag you’re it”
They don’t want to be it
They run away from it
They cry, “it’s not fair!”
They know that it doesn’t care
Children are afraid of it
Did I need it to write this song?
Is it needed to compose a tune?
Can I find it just anywhere?
Nevermind, it’s stuck here on my shoe
Does it run in my family?
Do you think that it grows on trees?
Could it come to me in a dream?
Maybe it’s just make-believe
Let it go
It’s just the emperor’s new clothes.


Loved this song….clever lyrics…well sung….the “secret” was divulged more through Joel’s expressions of playfulness…I may listen again and again!!!
