All About those Notes (All About that Bass Parody)

All About Those Notes (All About that Bass Parody)

Note: These lyrics are flutist-specific. You can rewrite this to fit your instrument. 

Because you know I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels.

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes.

Yeah, it’s pretty clear.

I’m not all ditzy, but I hit high notes, high notes,

Which is my specialty.

And I have that airstream and tongue the others chase

With all the right notes in all the right places.

I see musician jokes

Working stereotypes.

We know that can’t be real.

Come on now. Make it stop.

If you make music, music, then play it up

‘Cause your instrument is perfect

From the bottom to the top.

Band directors will tell you “Don’t worry about the size.”

Don’t pick your horn for its case, but for the sound you like.

You know that I don’t look or act like a brainless doll,

So if that’s you think of me, get a life and move along.

Because you know I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels.

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes.

I’m bringing music back!

Come on, where are the real musicians at?

That's what I'm saying.

If you're not into that,

I'll still tell you

‘Cause your instrument is perfect

From the bottom to the top.

Band directors will tell you “Don’t worry about the size.”

Don’t pick your horn for its case, but for the sound you like.

You know that I don’t look or act like a brainless doll,

So if that’s you think of me, get a life and move along.

Because you know I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels.

I’m all about those notes,

‘Bout those notes

Not labels

‘Bout those notes

Not labels

Because you know I’m all about those notes,
