Lyrics:

I walked out with my boots, into the glow and the glitz,
A melody in my heart, the rhythm in my fingertips.
Opened my mouth to sing, a silence fell so thick,
Funny, this ain't my day, my memory playing tricks.

Oh I've forgotten the lyrics, slipped from my grasp,
In this sing-song world, held a comedic gasp.
In this vast script of life, my part seemed to miss,
What was that catchy chorus? It went something like this…

La la la, la la la la, la la la la,
I've forgotten the lyrics, don't know where they are.
La la la, la la la la, la la la la,
Lyrics, where'd you wander off, are you near or far?

Sweat drips down my face, still, the smile doesn't fade,
As I strum the chords, an impromptu serenade.
I've forgotten the lyrics, but the beat is still the same,
Under this gleaming spotlight, it's a quirky kind of fame.

La la la, la la la la, la la la la,
I've forgotten the lyrics, don't know where they are.
La la la, la la la la, la la la la,
But while the rhythm's in me, I'll still be your star.

So here's to the songs, the words that went amiss,
To the unplanned moments that lead to a twist.
I've forgotten the lyrics, yeah, that's quite clear,
But in the end, it's the 'la la la' you'll remember my dear.
