Procol Harum - Without A Doubt lyrics

Got a great idea: gonna write a sonnet

A verse or two of fearless prose

A priceless quip to gild the rose

I'll make my fortune overnight

My work will set the world alight

Just a line is all i need

Just a thought to sow the seed

Just a word to start me out.

The rest will come without a doubt

I'm going downstairs to write a book

Got a great idea's gonna really cook

A rattling good yarn with an ironic twist

A riveting ending that's not to be missed

Makesure the presses are ready to steam

This book is a scorcher, a publisher's dream

Just the first part's all i need

The rest will come with lightning speed

Just a line to set the stage.

My pen will dance across the page

I'm going downstairs to write a play

Got a great idea gonna make it pay

This serious drama won't be understood

The critics will love it and say that it's good

"at last a new writer, a true nouvelle vague"

In no time at all i'll be king of the stage

Just a story's all i need.

Just a thought to sow the seed

Just a line to start me out .

The rest will come without a doubt
