Leslie Odom Jr.
Havin’ a Plan
[Owen, spoken]
Sometimes the real fun of going someplace
Is actually doing what you planned to do
And getting to the place on time

[Celeste, spoken]
I don’t know about that

[Owen, spoken]
Well I do

[Owen]
Living life systematically
Planning each day pragmatically
That’s my M.O
And wouldn’t you know
That to go with the flow
Well its not my style

Once upon a time you told a fairy tale
To me it was a very cautionary tale
Of [piggotry?], a fable, and the third was super [anal?]
[Can’t be helped from getting fatal?]

And that’s why
I’m a big fan of having a plan
And I plan to control what I can
Like to have a plan A and B
Better yet a plan C and D
I’m a big fan of having a plan
It’s a big part of the man I am
I don’t understand type B
So wait and see
You’ll benefit from having a plan

I know you think I’m getting all out of sorts
My undies must be twisted inside my shorts
But mom I’m only strеssing cause I’m not a fan of guessing
So its time that I’m confеssing something you should know

The reason that I’m acting tyrannical
Is more than the fore-mentioned botanical
I want to prove that waiting for a thing that’s fascinating
Is worth all the coordinating and ergo

[Celese]
You’re a big fan of having a plan
And I’m tryin to understand
That a plan is your cup of tea

[Owen]
I’m a type A

[Celese]
And I’m type B
You’re a big fan of havin’ a plan
And you thrive with a plan in hand
And baby I’ve come to see
Maybe you’ll agree
It’s fine to think differently

‘Cause there’s fun in never knowing
What could come, what could change at the turn of a corner
And in the spare of any moment one could end up
Dancing in a secret disco

Like when I met your father on that magical night
And that’s how you came to be

[Voices]
You’re a big fan of havin’ a plan
And I’m proud of my plan in hand
And you plan for your family
You’re a type a and I’m type b
You’re a big fan of havin’ a plan
And I’m proud of my plannin’ man
I love my little planning man

[Owen]
I’m a big fan of having
A plan
