Bad lyrics by an old man. Use em if you wish.

Here is one for Halloween, sung to Making Whoopie, I call "Snatchin Bodies.

A little dark
A little gloom
A little chill
About the room
It makes me itchy
It makes me twitchy
For body snatchin

Another corpse
Or maybe two
This one is old
That one is new
It's just so chillin
That I'm so willin
For body snatching

Picture a little cooler
Tucked up behind the shop
Picture it one day later
Filled right up to the top

I got a priest a banker too
I brought em in, it's what I do
My avocation, for this loction
I'm snatching bodies

(instrumental)

I never made much money
Oh maybe a dime or two
But I was always happy
Doin the things I'd do

I sit alone
Most every night
Set up the cot
Turn down the light
It makes me heady
I must be ready
For snatchin bodies

I'm snatching bodies
Yeah snatchin bodies

One for kids, sung to "Maria" from "West Side Story"

Bananas
I just made a drink with bananas
And suddenly I see
How wonderful a fruit could be

Bananas
Strawberries and milk and bananas
The day had all but died
Now heaven is alive in me

Bananas
Blend them loud and there's music playing
Baked in bread well it's almost like praying

Bananas
I'll never stop eating bananas

Sung to the tune, I'm in the mood for love

I'm in the mood to cook
Simply because you're here now
Funny but when you're here how
I'm in the mood too cook

Flavor is in the spice
However you choose to blend it
Crush it or break or bend it
I'm in the mood to cook

Celery, onion and carrot
Bring them together for mirepoix
Toss in some rice and chicken
Darling it's true
I do it for you

Heaven is in the sauce
However you choose to make it
Saute or simply bake it
I'm in the mood
Don't mean to seem rude
I'm in the mood to cook

Please feel free to use and share! Not sure if Sydney Carter would mind!

To the tune of ‘Lord Of The Dance’

Drunk & Disorderly

We drink in the morning, to the rising sun
We drink right through ‘til the day is done
We drink in clubs and pubs and bars.
We’ll drink al fresco underneath the stars

Drink! Drink! Wherever we may be
We’re going out for a pint or three
And we will drink, coz we are on a spree
For we are the drunk and disorderly...

We were drunk last night and the night before
And tonight we’ll drink and fall on the floor
Cos when we're drunk we're as happy as can be ...
For we are the drunk and disorderly

When the landlord comes and he rings the bell
And he shouts “Time please!” and we shout “Go to hell!”
Then he has to call the constab’lary
For we are the drunk and disorderly

With our collars felt and a night in clink
You’d think that would put us right of the drink
But of sterner stuff we are made, you see
For we are the drunk and disorderly

The tune has nothing to do with Sydney Carter actually, it's the tune of a shaker hymn called Simple Gifts.

I rarely drift through here so I missed the body of this post. But if I post something on the Mud Cat it is free and open to interpretation and use.
