Another "finish this song" thread

[dgatwood]

Five commandments:

1. Write eight lines at a time.
2. Humor is good and pleasing in my sight.
3. Spanking is bad. Thou shalt not spank before me.
4. It's a 12-bar blues style for which the rhyme scheme is:
A B C B D E F E*.
5. The final line (*) in every octuplet shall be "so that's exactly what I did".

I'll pick a handful of the best ones in couple of weeks and record this for gits and shiggles.

Example:

I woke up this mornin',
drug my ass into the store;
thought I'd buy my wife a diamond ring,
but my girlfriend wanted four...

so I got her a little present...
which in her purse I hid...
had to clean up after my schnauzer...
so that's exactly what I did....

 

[Folkie]

Hard to stick to the rules exactly, but I'll give it a shot.

They tell me, they tell me
That diamonds are a girl's best friend
But once you buy one for her
Your usefulness comes to an end

She'll show it off to momma
She'll show it off to her kids
It's cheaper to buy rhinestones
So that's exactly what I did....

 

[cliff richard]

you should of seen this rhinestone
the size of planet mars
the cowboy that i bought it from
frequented seedy bars

he said he liked to line dance
especially naked
i thought to myself, run like the wind
so thats exactly what i did

 

[thane1200]

I ran, I ran, I ran away,
My intention was not to stay,
So I hopped the train to Ohio,
Until I had to pay,

The Ticket Master gave a shout,
He found where I had hid,
He said "leave before I knock you out"
So that's exactly what I did.

 

[Fieva]

She told me that she loved me,
She loves her diamond ring
She just went through my wallet
Said money's not a thing

I know that somethin's fishy
I don't know where she is
They said I should call 'Cheaters'
That's exactly what I did

 

[Kryptik]

My mind's been warped with wine
Oh my mind's been warped with wine
I thought I'd need a medical exam
Oh man this song is a sham.

Oh, I've never liked this riff
Oh, I wished it could'v been undid
So I thought about jumping off a cliff
So that's exactly what I did

 

[HeyHeyMyMy]

ah, I've never been good at following other people's rhyme schemes, so forget it...

so I jumped off that cliff
the wind was high but I fell low
found a cave with coal a-plenty
thought I'd give diamond making a go

so I takes with me that coal
needs me a place where coal be hid
she said "find a place tight like your wallet"
so that's exactly what I did
