Isn't this the melody for a christmas song?

actually its slightly different - it starts off like "Happy Xmas-war is over" by John Lennon but the song is different expicially in the chorus. When I wrote the song I was not even thinking about this christmas song but after you posted what you did I listened to them all (its christmas season after all) and when I came to the Lennon tune I found what you meant. believe me...it was NOT intentional. I love my words and I am hoping that its different enough to pass copy infringement as I would like to keep it as is but if I have to change it....well...I will somehow

I had my 14 year old daughter and her friend sing this one that I wrote a long time ago. if there are any girls bands out there that need a kick ass song - here it is.....let me know if ya like at and if you want to make it your own and redo itwith your own vocals go for it...I just want to make sure I get the writing credit!

Girls With An Attitude

This is a song that pays homage not only to Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jim Croce, Ricky Nelson, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston & John Lennon - but to a WHOLE BUNCH more stars who have passed. give it a listen and help me to get sax, lead guitar, bass, keys and drums added.  composed by Ken Marth

Barrel of Monkeys (The Swinging Life)
 
This ol' World's just a barrel of monkeys
 swinging in the sun
 sometimes you get kicked by a donkey it'll put you on the run
 But good God almighty well I must confess
 after all we've all been blessed
 he's coming one day to clean up this mess
 and it'll sure be fun
 
verse
 
Oh wide is the gate that leads to the gutter
 you can't escape - coz it's slippery as butter
 on a big tin sheet of bacon grease
 you can't stand on your own two feet
 
get yourself up and don't complain
 remember what OL' Tarzan said to Jane
 see you later as he boarded the plane
 the swinging life ain't for me
 
oh, a barrel of monkeys are lottsa fun
 if you don't mind playing with a loaded gun
 but if you get too old and don't recall
 get yourself a bottle of geritol
 
I'm turning 50 in a couple of days
 my back hurts and my eyes are glazed
 but I still remember what Tarzan said to Jane
 the swinging life ain't for me
 
chorus
 
Eh This ol' world's just a barrel of monkeys
 swinging in the sun
 sometimes you get kicked by a donkey
 and it'll put you on the run
 But good God almighty well I must confess
 after all - we've all been blessed
 he's coming one day to clean up this mess
 and it'll sure be fun
 
bridge
 
what have we done
 in the noon day sun
 forgotten every single word
 he taught about love
 
chorus
 
Hey this ol' world's just a barrel of monkeys
 swinging in the sun
 sometimes you get kicked by a donkey
 and it'll put you on the run
 But good God almighty well I must confess
 after all - we've all been blessed
 he's coming one day to clean up this mess
 and it'll sure be fun
