Revised October 17, 2018: I changed the first verse so that the subject is revealed a few seconds later and more loudly.
The most powerful sound I’ve ever heard.
Hundreds of thousands of things you can do with a single word.
Alexa! I bought a device with Alexa.
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me.
Alexa! I own a device with Alexa.
And suddenly I’ve found
How powerful a sound can be!
Alexa:
Say it once, and the lights turn heather.
Say it twice, and get news, sports and weather.
Alexa: The best gadget ever: Alexa.
Alexa
Alexa, Alexa,
Alexa, Alexa, Alexa, Alexa, Alexa, Alexa, Alexa
Alexa:
Say it once, there’s free music playing.
Say it twice, and you may end up paying.
Alexa: Be careful when saying Alexa.
The most dangerous sound I ever heard:
Alexa.
