This is part of the complete Exercises in Song cycle being released on this site.
"Insistence" originally appeared on p62 of Raymond Queneau's Exercices de Style in the 1998 Calderbook translation.
To be sung to the tune of "Show Me The Way To Go Home". More information here.
Show me the way to go home.
Show me the way home because I'm beat.
I'm tired, so if you'd see me home then that'd be great.
Could you point me to my street?
I've asked you this before:
Will you show me to my door?
But I'll not ask you to show me again,
As you're about to, I'm sure.
