THE MEMORY SONG (Steve Walters) [I'm] looking for my wallet and my car keys-- Well, they can't have gone too far, And as soon as I find my glasses I'm sure I'll see just where they are. [I'm] 's'posed to meet someone for lunch today I just can't remember where Or who it is that I am meeting ... It's in my organiser somewhere. I think I left it on the counter Or maybe outside in the car. ... Last time I remember driving Was to that memory enhancement seminar. What's that far off distant ringing In that strangely familiar tone? Must be the person I am meeting Calling on my brand new cordless phone I think I left it under the covers Or maybe outside on the lawn I've got just one more ring to go Before my phone machine turns on "Click" [spoken] "Hi, this is Steve and your call means a lot to me. Please leave a message and I will try to remember to call you back when I get home." "Beeeeeeeeeep" [Tearfully spoken] "Steve, this is Bambi, and I am trying not to cry, but I've been waiting for over an hour! I thought you loved me! This is goodbye! [Play a bar or two without singing, then:] The voice it sounds familiar... and the name, it rings a bell ... Now let's see, -- where was I? [Play a bar or two without singing, then:] Oh, well.... [Brief instrumental break] I'm looking for my wallet and my car keys-- Well, they can't have gone too far, And as soon as I find my glasses I'm sure I'm ... [Finish instrumentally] I learned this song from Mo Mack in Portland (Oregon), who got it from Chuck Pyl e. It is a sort of talking blues -- a simple C-F-G(7) progression. @humor @aging filename[ MEMORYSG JP |
