Thread Name: Silly short songs
Subject: RE: Silly short songs
On "The Red Green Show," a Canadian comedy show, there is a recurring character who is a roofer by trade and who aspires to become a country singer. Whenever he appears, he's always wearing a cast and a neck brace and he has a guitar sitting on his lap. He writes his own songs, to which the other characters tend to grimace and wince. Here's one of his songs. Not exact, but as close as I can remember it. It doesn't rhyme, it doesn't scan, and it can be sung to any rambling tune that you can make up on the spot.
When you feel like a frog hopping down the road of life,
And everything that happens to you feels like a steel-belted radial,
Just remember as you lay there in a puddle of your assorted bodily fluids,
That
At least
You made
Your mark.
