(Bobby Fisher)
Partners in rhyme it would be a crime
If we had never got to sing together
Partners in rhyme singin' every line
Well, maybe we could teach the world to sing some harmony.
The song of life would not be right without a melody
Hey I don't think no one would mind if we're not right on key
Just sing it from the soul and soon your cares will leave your mind
Just good ole friends until the end we're partners in rhyme.
Partners in rhyme it would be a crime
If we had never got to sing together
Partners in rhyme singin' every line
Well, maybe we could teach the world to sing some harmony.
--- Instrumental ---
Let's pretend that life's a never ending symphony
And ever day's a song to sing and singin' sets you free
The world can sometimes get you down and seem so out of time
That's when you need someone who'll be your partner in rhyme.
Partners in rhyme it would be a crime
If we had never got to sing together
Partners in rhyme singin' every line
Well, maybe we could teach the world to sing some harmony.
Partners in rhyme it would be a crime
If we had never got to sing together
Partners in rhyme singin' every line
Well, maybe we could teach the world to sing some harmony...
