JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum Songwriting Challenge "I LIKES GOOD GRAMMA" from Tom Tracy

This suggestion is from Tom Tracy. (Sorry for the delay, Tom.)

Bad grammar always gets to me. So here's something I just thought of that would be fun to do in the songwriter challenge forum - it must include the following line:

"I LIKES GOOD GRAMMA"

'Cause I Likes Good Gramma

v1
I R havin a gramma lesson
ta teach me ta rite betta
wantcha ta wanna read wat i rite
I has plenty 'o songs ta read
'bout lotsa kinds a things
Won'tcha take a ganderin tanight

chorus
i only Cap FIRST werds "n" proper NouNs
Check wurds fer spellin mistakes
i don't start a centance with And
AND Don't use No double negatives
I's workin harda, to do it finna
"Cause I likes good gramma

v2
I R likin my gramma lesson
it's a good good thing
Think yer gonna be likin ta my songs
I don't got no punctuate
And no unawesome wurds
Rote it way fer you ta sing along

chorus
i only Cap FIRST werds "n" proper NouNs
Check wurds fer spellin mistakes
i don't start a centance with And
AND Don't use No double negatives
I's workin harda, to do it finna
"Cause I likes good gramma

bridge
I am just a ritin fool
This is wat i learned in scholl
Why I luv this gramma class

chorus
i only Cap FIRST werds "n" proper NouNs
Check wurds fer spellin mistakes
i don't start a centance with And
AND Don't use No double negatives
I's workin harda, to do it finna
"Cause I likes good gramma

Wow! Nightengale takes the kake with this won!
Even if you don't see the lyrics written, and just "hear" it, it still captures the whole aura of what I was going after.

Mucho kudos!

This post is a wee bit related to the original question....
I'm sittin' here listening to Ted Nugent's "Hibernation".....his only instrumental that I'm aware of....

It got me to thinkin', this thread is about language, right?
So.....if Ted's guitar, all the screamin' and jammin' audio communication, could be written down, what would it say?

Pick any one of mine posted on these boards, just imagine that line in there.. anywhere ;-)

And I Likes Good Gramma
© words and music by C. Stewart ( May 21, 2009 )

Never was much in school
Helps if you open a book
Couldn't take my eyes off teacher
Like the way her body shook

Miss hot legs was turned on
Kept me after class
Said IF I undress her
I'd be sure to pass

And I likes good gramma

Her pronouns is small
But them looked firm
Lipstick was blood red
Burn baby burn

And I likes good gramma

Don't know a verb from
A hole in da ground
But I know seduction
When it comes around

And I likes good gramma

I turned the knobs on her radio
Liked the sound she made
She want to grade my paper
She's needin' to got laid

And I likes good gramma

I was propositioned
With a preposition
My teacher like to rock and roll
She got me in a funky
James Brown position
My teacher like to rock and roll

And I likes good gramma x 2

Hi, Nightengale! Thanks fer posting your grammatically incorrect song.

Hi Jean & Tom

Keep To The Right © joice marie

Jr High
Big new school
All new students
All green fools

Principal has
Many strict rules
Tall as a Tower
A Giant size ghoul

Stands in the stairwell
As the boys and girls file
Up on the left
Down on the right
Grabs a kid by the collar
Yells, "I said, Keep to the Right !
Dam FooLs--ya don't know nuttin"

He taught us
History
Made our lives
A misery

Quizzes each day
Even the gifted
Got harassed and stayed
Sunken as he shifted

Stands in the stairwell
As the boys and girls file
Up on the left
Down on the right
Grabs a kid by the collar
Yells, "I said, Keep to the Right !
Dam FooLs- ya don't know nuttin"

No one dared, To cross him
Until One day.......

A pretty new English teacher, Took him aside and said
"I Likes good Gramma" will you please correct what you say........."

Stands in the stairwell
As the boys and girls file
Up on the left
Down on the right
Grabs a kid by the collar
Yells, "I said, Keep to the Right !
Even FooLs can learn something"

Keep to the right !!.........

it ain'tz much but it's sumthin LOL

sumtimes I can't spell
but I don't worry bout it much
some folks will say I've lost
my remainin human touch
then there are those who wanna
put me in th slamma
all becuzz I likes both bad and good gramma

I gotz my edjamacation
from watchin old cartoons
gotz my physical trainin
under the dark of the moon
but where I gotz my spellin
was in th state of Alabama
got it from my ma's ma
cuzz I likes my good gramma

Thanks for posting, Joice. Guess neither the teacher nor the principal are acquainted with good gramma.

LOL, Gary, you managed to work the pun in very well. Thanks for posting.

Hi Jean

I was thinking the teacher - was using tongue and cheek to Teach -- but Your thinking works for me too.... ; )

Yes, it's effective both ways.

Think I'll have another Amberbock
As I writes This Song
Lost Count of the Others
But I Doubt I'll Go Wrong
Bein' Highly-Edjurcated I Don't give a Dammer
While I write This Song
Hey, I Likes Good Grammar~

Dayum, there's The Redish Underline
Under Several Words
It's Me-Against-The-Robot
But I rarely Get-Disturbed
That Computer doesn't Know It All, or wad-up My Pajamers
So While I Write This Song
Hey, I Likes Good Grammar

I Might Use The Wrong Pronoun
I Might Use The Wrong Tense
But Every Word I've Ever Writtin'
Makes Good Sense!

Now, Sometimes Deciphering My Writes
Some Folks have Trouble
But it's easy as can Be
If You are Seein' Double
But Do Not Read and Drive, Or you'll end up in The Slammer
(Just be sure to tell the Judge)
Hey, I Like Good Grammar!

LOL, Stan. Where did I put my red pen? Thanks for posting.
