Song-A-Week Challenge Theme: KIDS
This song was written in a very simple style called the Talkin' Blues. Many artists wrote silly songs in this style including my favorites by Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Dave Van Ronk. 
LYRICS:
Well, my phone went ringing just a half past three
It was Auntie Susie, she's a callin' for me
Her babysitter had fallen through
and she didn't know who else to turn to
In quite of a pickle. She can pay me in chicken eggs. Cool beans.

I said goodnight to my peace and quiet
I tucked my book in said, "rest your eyelids"
I gave a big sigh and I grabbed my guitar
Luckily the family don't live too far
Just up the mountain, uphill, both ways.

Well, I arrived quick, just a quarter after four
As my mama's sister was a-heading out the door
Said a quick, "Thank you! You have no idea,
Don't give him milk it gives him bad diarrhea."
Lactose intolerance: it's the word of the day

Well, there was little Jimmy's face glued to the screen
Said he's playing Roblox, some video game
I said "How're you doing, you hungry little dude?"
"I'm gonna play Minecraft, I don't want any food!"
Man, was I like that? I think I was. Sorry, Mom.

Jimmy changed it over to a YouTube show
I said, here's my chance, man, "What do you know?
I've got a channel, I've got 100 views!"
"Pewdiepie passed 90,000,002"
Subscribers, that is. Internet gold. Digital friends.

Jimmy got bored, and I don't care
He ditched on the Switch and he switched to the Twitch
Now, Twitch is a streaming application
Where you watch other people play video games...
(BRIDGE: explanation of Twitch to my Dad)

My head was aching from all of these electronics
So I grabbed my guitar for some soothing harmonics
Jimmy came buzzing like a pesky mosquito
Said, "oh my gosh, can you play 'Despacito'?"
*sigh* Alright, Jimmy. 
Why don't you go into the kitchen, 
and grab two bowls of ice cream? 

I don't wanna babysit no more, alright!
Talkin' greasy kid stuff blues!

Talkin' Greasy Kid Stuff Blues

First time tryna write words in many years. You can tell.

Week 22 - Lost

This was a practice run that I did for a showcase on June 5th. I had a lot of fun putting this quick little mix together and I hope you enjoy it!

Quick and fun mix for June!

Song-A-Week theme: REPETITION
I had to tell many of my friends and family the same thing this week.
It's happy news! The baby is due in February 2020! Here is a YouTube video of me dancing like a proud dad: https://youtu.be/JkY_96XAxdk
LYRICS:
I'm gonna be a dad 
(x64)

I'm Gonna Be A Dad

Ride Out

A little yellow bird lookin through my window
But I didn't hear nothin hed say
Well the sun still shines despite all we done
And the world don't need us here anyway

Well have you seen the canals in venice
They turned clear in just a few days
Someone even saw a few dolphins
The world don't need us here anyway

Well what was it like before we got here
Before we wore out our stay
How did we get so damn greedy
The world dont need us here anyway

Can't you see the worlds been on fire?
And its us that is causing it to decay
Maybe this is a final warning
The world dont need us here anyway

Forget all about the stock market
The dead dont need a 401K
We could all be gone tomorrow
the world dont need us here anyway

The Canary
