I know a friend of mine
And his business is writing songs
It's a kind of a gift and I get a big lift
From his melodies and diphthongs
We got to talk him once
I was curious as could be
To explain what to do let him tell it to you
Just the way it was told to me
First you write a little ol' tune real easy
Not as hard to play as let's say part cheesy
Real simple chords in the key of C
A melody you can groove
Next you add some little ol' words on to it
Try to get some people who'll sing to do it
Then if they say My have you got a hit
You act non committal and say Just a little ol' tune
Now record your little ol' tune just hum it
Could you try to fancy it up Far from it
Dub in some top tenor harmony
Just me me me as you groove
Yes next you sing a baritone part from way back
Add a zoom zoom bass and then start the playback
And when they say Ma he's singing forte
You act non committal and say Just a little ol' tune
You act non committal and say Just a little just a little ol' tune
