“That’s How You Write A Song” lyrics — Alexander Rybak (Norway Eurovision 2018)

He’s a Eurovision Song Contest winner and likely the biggest name of the 2018 edition. And now Alexander Rybak — who earned more points than anyone ever in the old voting system — is back for Eurovision glory once more.

Nothing was handed to him. The Norwegian star had to earn his place at Eurovision by competing in Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix. To many it was the show’s strongest field ever, with plenty of well-known acts and, more importantly, several top-notch songs.

Armed with his fiddle and buckets of charisma, Alex sings “That’s How You Write A Song” — a feel-good number literally about writing a song. But the lyrics seem to refer more broadly to reaching goals and overcoming obstacles. It’s a true earworm. Love it or hate it, it’s diffcult not to smile when the violin enters the picture.

In short, the “That’s How You Write a Song” lyrics are a reminder to believe in your song….but also in yourself. As he sings: “Step one: believe in it and sing it all day long, Step two: just roll with it, that’s how you write a song.”

That’s How You Write A Song lyrics – Alexander Rybak (Norway Eurovision 2018)

If you got a minute
Get down your idea
It might do wonders
Maybe disappear
Who knows? Just get it down
And nothing can go wrong
Go find your rhythm
That’s how you write a songEnjoy the small things
With time they will get big
Gotta find your mission
A mission to pursue
You know you got a talent
Whatever it may be
So work your magic
And sing along with meStep one: believe in it
And sing it all day long
Step two: just roll with it
That’s how you write a song

Sing shoobie doobie dat dat (shoobie doobie dat dat)
Shaba daba hey (shaba daba hey)
Say all day long (all day long)
And that’s how you write a song

I say skoobiedoobiedobuppa (skoobiedoobiedobuppa)
Boogie boogie woogie (boogie boogie woogie)
Say all day long (all day long)
