Lirik You're On My Mind
I should like to consider the folk song
And expand briefly on a theory I have held for some time
To the effect that the reason most folk songs are so atrocious is that they were written by:the
Le
If professional songwriters had written them instead
Things might have turned out considerably differently
For example
Consider the old favorite
With which
I'm sure
You're all familiar
Ot
Clementine
You know:
In a cavern
In a canyon
Dadada dadadada
A song with no recognizable merit whatsoever
And imagine what might have happened if
For example
Cole porter had tried writing this song
The first verse might have come out like this:
In a cavern
In a canyon
Excava ha ha hating for a mine
Far away from the boom boom boom of the city
She was so pretty
What a pity
Clementine
Oh clementine
Can't you tell from the howls of me
This love of mine calls to you from the bowels of me
Are you discerning the returning
Of this churning
Burning
Yearning for you oo oo
Ah ah
Well
Supposing at this point that mozart
Or one of that crowd
Had tried writing a verse
The next one might have come out as a baritone aria from an italian opera
Somewhat along these lines:
Era legera e come un fairy
E suo shoes numero nine
Herring bo ho ho hoxes senza to ho ho hopses
Sandalae per clementina si
Per clementina si
Per clementina sandalae
Per clementina sandalae
Per clementine
Clehementina
Clehementina
Clehe he mentina
Herring boxes senza topses sandalae per clementina
Herring boxes senza topses sandalae per clementina
Che sciagura clementina
Che sciagura clementina
Cara clementina
Cara
Clementina na na na na na na na
Supposing at this rather dramatic juncture in the narrative
One of our modern cool school of composers had tried writing a verse
The next one might have come out like this:
Drove those ducklings to the water
Yeah brach
Doddley doo doo uh ah
Ev'ry morning like 9am
Ooh pah
De do de do do do
Biddley da
Got hung up on a splinter
Got a hung up on a splinter
Cloo ge mop
Huh huh
Do de do de do do do
Fell into the foamy brine
Dig that crazy clementine
Man
To end on a happy note
One can always count on gilbert and sullivan for a rousing finale
Full of words and music and signifying nothing
That I missed her depressed her young sister named esther
This mister to pester she tried
Now her pestering sister's a festering blister
You're best to resist her
Say I
The mister resisted
The sister persisted
I kissed her
All loyalty slipped
When she said I could have her
Her sister's cadaver
Must surely have turned in its crypt
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
But I love she and she loves me
Enraptured are the both of we
Yes I love she and she loves I
And will through all eternity
See what I mean
