I Swear It
(Y9W10 - New Year's Resolutions.
Use the line: I swear, this time I've really changed)
This time, I swear it, I really will change.
This time my figure will be rearranged.
My butt will no longer look like a bustle.
There'll be nothing much to me
But curves and muscle.
The waist of my trousers is pinching, oh sigh.
And I know there's only one reason why.
Too much pork and gravy, too many fries,
Much too much Oreo Cookie Pie.
But this time, I swear it, I'll really get thin.
I'll be skinny again and wear a size ten.
I've said it before, but it bears repeating:
I'm giving up recreational eating.
I swear it, I swear it, without a doubt.
I'm no longer contented with being stout.
So I'm changing today, not one minute later.
And my calories IN will NEVER be greater,
Will never, no never,
Not EVER be greater
Then calories, calories,
Calories OUT!
Yes, this time, I swear it, I really will change.
This time my figure will be rearranged.
My butt will no longer look like a bustle.
There'll be nothing much to me - e -e
But cur - ur - urves - and muscle!
Good start :D Nice concrete details...nice rhymes as well.
Suggestion: v2 looks like it work better as the v1....maybe even keep your current v2 and v3 together and drop your v1 down to v3....depending on the music in mind.
Thanks for sharing.
Good idea, James. I'm making the switch right now. The tune I have in my head is the same for each section, so it doesn't matter how I switch them. Thanks.
Later: Nah, I tried the switch and then switched back. Since the first and last parts are identical, I 'm going to leave a lot of space between them. I'll just move on and try writing something brand new and see how it works out. Thanks, anyway.
