World War Ii

[OneEyeJack]

I would like to hear Mr. Sleeve compose a song in the vein of 1940,s war tune. like when Johnny comes marching home type.

[TheMojoPin]

Ambling madly all over the town
The call to arms you liken to a whisper,
I liken to a radio.
You were a brickbat, a bowery tuff, so rough
They culled you from a cartoon
Pulled out of your pantaloons.

But you,
My brother in arms,
I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm.

But you ,
My bombazine doll,
The bullets may singe your skin
And the mortars may fall.

But I,
I never felt so much life
Than tonight
Huddled in the trenches,
Gazing on the battle field,
Our rifles blaze away;
We blaze away.

Corporal Bradley of regiment five
In proud array standing by the bathing
Soldiers and the stevedores.
We laid on the mattress and tumbled to sleep
Our eyes aligned, swaddled in our civies
Cradled in our dungarees.

But you,
My brother in arms,
I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm.

But you,
My bombazine doll,
The bullets may singe your skin
And the mortars may fall.

But I,
I never felt so much life
Than tonight
Huddled in the trenches,
Gazing on the battle field
Our rifles blaze away;
We blaze away.
We blaze away.
We blaze away.

It will be ready in 7 or 8 minutes.

I always like to do an old-fashioned before bedtime.

there was a song k.k.k.kady
that wasnt about the kkk
just about a girl named kady whom a soldier missed
i think

[Sleeves]

i didn't get very far and I don't think I got the marching part

Mojo's lyrics, wherever they came from set something up for me...

finish the lyrics and i'll sing em...(it's like karaoke but instead of singing someone elses song, you write it!...let's call such an endeavor: "Hanalulu")

please feel free to Hanalulu the following:

The Bye Bye Song (http://www.atomsmotion.com/uploads/thebyebyesong.mp3)

dined ourselves in the light of each others eyes
fought in the ditch in the arms of each other died
we drank and we smoked slept in a pile never cried
baby bye bye...guess I'm goin bye bye...

(if you listen you'll hear how the second verse is just nonsense...which is how i write songs...I just mumble the sounds and then I slowly fit words in...i believe this is how the Def Leppard artists also work...)

It's "The Soldiering Life" by the Decemberists:

Nice job, Sleeves.

Mojo, how can a man so brilliant as you be a Cubs fan?

what I had in mind was a song more uplifting, something that makes you want to join the war effort not commit suicide over. think more Gershwinny.
