Actually, this comes via Dharmabum to me to Amos to Áine!

I'd like to offer a sub-challenge, Áine, if I may. That would be to make a blues number collaboratively, using as many words from this as possible:

http://blueslyrics.tripod.com/blueslanguage.htm#top

Put the words from that source in BOLD type to get points. The winner gets a set of Gary Davis lyrics edited for use in church singing! (Not sanitized-- verses added, etc.!) With chords! Call it a Holy Roller Ball prize.

I'll start it off:

HOT MONKEY LOVE BLUES

You know it's hot in the jungle
But baby I saw you.
Oh I was hot there in the jungle
But then I caught a whiff uh you.
I'll do whatever it takes, baby,
To lose these hot monkey love blues.

And it's steamy in that jungle, baby,
But not as steamy as you.
Oh yeah it's steamy in that jungle, baby,
And 'most as steamy as you.
But with these hot monkey love blues baby,
Whatchoo speck me to do?

You got me jitterbuggin' baby
The way you shake that thang.
Oh I cain't hep but be jitterbuggin' baby,
The way you shake that thang.
Need me some pow'ful goofy dust honey
Or do I gotta flag me a train?

I ain't no monkey man, baby
I'se a natural born.
I ain't no monkey man, baby
I'se a natural born.
Once this monkey kiss yo monkey, honey,
Keep it nice an' warm.
