I've been having great fun lately on Wednesdays at the Globe Songwriting Course, which is run by Tim Dalling, whom you may remember from the comedy/folk band the Old Rope String Band a few years back. We had to write a song about 'writing a song' so I came up with this offering which may interest readers. Don't think I'll be performing this one at any jams, any time soon, mind. Just a bit of fun!
A Sort Of Song
Night and Day, Cole Porter's the one
Steal his lyrics to write a good song
It's too hard to make words up
Just use his because they're good
He won't object at all
Because he's dead!
Anything goes, so begin the beguine
In the still of the night, if you want to be seen
It's just one of those things
It gets under your skin
So from this moment on
Sing along, just sing along
Night and Day, you are the top
By singing his words
You'll really won't flop
So don't fence me in, just let me sing
It's alright with me, I'll sing my song
I've pinched the tune as well
Night and Day
