"Keeping It Cool" Copyright December 4, 2023 by Bill Draper
(Verse I)
I'm a little disturbed
by current events.
What do I do?
What do I do?
(Chorus)
Keeping It Cool!
Breezing along!
I'll sing a song or two!
Keeping It Cool!
(VII)
Pandemic! Inflation!
Warring nations!
What do I do?
What do I do?
Keeping It Cool!
Breezing along!
I'll sing a song or two!
Keeping It Cool!
(Instrumental Bridge) Keep it brief.
(Lyrical Bridge)
I'll make a huge
pot of stew,
take it to the border
of the nation next door!
Feed the Poor!
Feed the Poor!
Keeping It Cool!
Breezing along!
I'll sing a song, or two!
Keeping It Cool!
(Coda)
Keeping It Cool!
I'll sing a song, or two!
The 'kicked to the curb' Verse was not coherent with the other two, and was not given relevance by other Verses or the Chorus, or the Bridge.
Simplify. Seeking 'focus' you can make it about the 'current events' which ARE given relevance and coherence with each other, and in the Lyrical Bridge.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
