[Intro: Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon, Audience Member]
We've, uh, we're right near the completion of a new album at last
About time
What'd you say? (About time?)
He said it's about time
Yeah, we've, we had the same reaction
I feel very happy we've come to the end of it and pretty pleased with it
This is, uh, the most recent of the songs that's been written
It's about a month old and it's in the album
The song is called "A Song for the Asking"

[Verse 1: Paul Simon]
Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile

[Verse 2: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life

[Bridge: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad to change my ways

[Verse 3: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
For the asking
Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside
[Verse 4: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

[Outro: Paul Simon]
Shh
