I know a friend of mine |
|
And his business is writing songs |
|
It's a kind of a gift and I get a big lift |
|
From his melodies and diphthongs |
|
We got to talk him once |
|
I was curious as could be |
|
To explain what to do, let him tell it to you |
|
Just the way it was told to me |
|
First you write a little ol' tune, real easy |
|
Not as hard to play as let's say part cheesy |
|
Real simple chords in the key of C |
|
A melody you can groove |
|
Next you add some little ol' words on to it |
|
Try to get some people who'll sing to do it |
|
Then if they say, ?My have you got a hit? |
|
You act non committal and say, ?Just a little ol' tune? |
|
Now record your little ol' tune, just hum it |
|
Could you try to fancy it up? Far from it |
|
Dub in some top tenor harmony |
|
Just me, me, me, as you groove |
|
Yes, next you sing a baritone part from way back |
|
Add a zoom, zoom, bass and then start the playback |
|
And when they say, ?Ma, he's singing forte? |
|
You act non committal and say, ?Just a little ol' tune? |
|
You act non committal and say, ?Just a little, just a little ol' tune? |
