Tap-tap-tap-ding goes the typewriter
Tap-tap-tap-bring over some more paper
Feel the rhythm
Express the beat
In your seat
As you type-type-type
This machine brings such joys and affections
Such nostalgic gratitude
Keep up the pace now
Tap-tap-tap goes the typewriter
It sounds beautiful and mechanical all in one
How could you ever let this thing go?
There is such a magical, mysterious element to it
Fingers joyfully dancing and prancing on the keys
Like a piano almost
Tap-tap-tap goes the typewriter
Antiquated and outdated to some
You feel connected and one with this one
It's hard to think about ever letting it go

This has such a fun, nostalgic rhythm—feels like the typewriter itself is part of the music! Do you actually own one, or was this just inspiration?
