Song for Free

Words and Music by Todd Lerner

The beat, is free
Guitar, free, I will sing

Take this song for free
I’ll work for you ’cause it works for me
Download this song for free
A price with which you cannot disagree
For my own publicity
Share the song but don’t steal the CD
Take this song for free, take this song, it’s free

Take this song for free
I’ll give away some intellectual property
And here’s some harmony
How about a countermelody
thrown in as a gratuity, for free

Take this song for free, take this song, it’s free

Here’s the bridge I wrote for free
To put into the song for you from me
It’s complementary
The bridge has its own melody
That gets the song to where it’s gonna be
Ah, take the bridge, take the whole song for free

Take this song for free
I’ll work for you ’cause it works for me
Download this song for free
At songforfree dot com
For my own publicity

Did you say, songforfree dot com?
Todd, you can’t put that in a song
They won’t play it

Again, the bridge I wrote for free
To put into the song for you from me
It’s complementary
The bridge has its own melody
That gets the song to where it’s gonna be
Ah, take the bridge, take the whole song for free

Free trumpets
Build it up, no charge

Take this song for free
Hear it? The sound of free

Take this song for free
Play it on your iPod, limited time offer

Take this song for free
Email it to your sister, you gotta love free
I don’t know Todd, this song is like a commercial
And what if someone just buys the CD
What?
Then they didn’t get the song for free, right?
C’mon

Take this song for free
Now, free fadeout

Take this song for free
I’ll work for you ’cause it works for me

Take this song for free
I’ll work for you ’cause it works for me

Take this song for free
