Counterpoint

By Doris Muramatsu and Nate Borofsky

Nate: You go one way, I’ll go the other
You sing one thing, I’ll sing another
Sometimes I just want to go fast
Sometimes I want to go slow
And you can sing high and I can sing low
I’m singing counterpoint with you

Doris: I’m just sitting here, singing a song with you
The words don’t always match
But they both work, too
I’ll hold on to the things I sing
And I’ll let you sing your part
As long as it’s from your heart
Then I’ll be singing counterpoint with you

N & D: It’s counterpoint when I sing here
And you sing your part loud and clear
It may seem like two different songs
But it turns out we’re singing along

Nate: Hey JJ, you want to sing a part too?
Doris: Yeah, c’mon!
JJ: But mine doesn’t have any words…
Nate: That’s okay, you just make it up!

JJ: Ok! la la la la la….

N, D & JJ: It’s counterpoint when I sing here
And you sing your part loud and clear
It may seem like three different songs
But it turns out we’re singing along
But It turns out we’re singing along!
