Analysis of My Oh My
I have the chance to express myself
I also would like to sing
I have the chance to best myself
Among oh so many things
To smell a flower
To read a book
Or do some naughty thing
Perhaps I'll take a trip I say
Explore what pleasure it brings
To have lost oneself
Then find themself
Oh what a wonderful thing
My how this all sounds so jolly
Some may think what a fool I am
Yet my choices are endless
My pleasures are boundless
On second thought I think I shall sing
Still, I have the chance to express myself
Oh where oh where shall I begin
Be it at top
Be it at bottom
I feel my head is about to spin
My body she brings my wings
