Thread Name: Your First song
Subject: RE: Your First song
This is my first song, written today.
It has to be sung with a Dolly Parton-style-swing-of-the-bust at the end of each line, accompanied by lots of emphasis on the eeeeeeeee in memorieeees / happeeeee etc.

It was inspired by "Poop in a Jar", a charming little number which was in another thread.


Here Goes:



I've got a silver box of memories
Choc-a-block with mementos of you and me
Wedding photos, romantic notes you sent to tease
And lots of lovely things you brought me just to please

Now she's got a golden box of memories                              
I sneaked a look inside and guess what I did see
Photos of December, hey in December weren't you with me?
Well that's a rotten thing to do, don't you agree ?

I wrapped some thoughts of yours and placed them with my memories
That box began to stink and I began to see
Honey, that ain't no way to thank me for all these years
But now my mind is clear, and I am finally free.

For your future little box of memories
I hope that money for you, it grows on trees
As for loving; curse or blessing, I am not sure;
I hope you get what you deserve, no less, no more

I had to throw away that box of memories
Cos it was smelling of your negativity
Now my smile it shines, my time is mine, my love's for me
And if I get what I deserve I'll be happy
