Everyone wants to know how
the songwriters write the songs.
It's a kind of a gift, and we get a big lift from their melodies,
an d it falls.
We felt the same way,
so we inquired of two or three.
They explain what you do,
let me tell it to you
Just the way it was told to me
Told to me
Da -da -da -da -da -da
First you ride a little old tune
Real easy, not as hard
to play as let's say
Part cheesy, real simple cause
In the key of
C
A melody you
can croon
Next you add
some little old words
On to it, try to get some
people who seem to do it
Then if they say, boy, have you got a hip
You act of committal and say, just a little
old too
Now re cord your little old tune,
just hum it
Should you try to fancy up
Oh, no, far from it
Dub in some top tenor harmony
Just me, me, me
As you grew
Next you'll sing
On a baritone part
From way back
At a zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom,
zoom, zoom
Bass and then start that playback
Then when they say
Man, we're singing quartet,
a quartet
We act noncommittal and
say just a little old tune
Just a simple tune, one that you can prove
Just a little old tune
