Topic: Southpaw delivers a tko to the banks

SOUTHPAW        BUVVY        5-03-09

MANY  YEARS  AGO
DEEP  DOWN  IN  THE  SOUTH
A  BABY  BOY  WAS  BORN
HIS  MOTHER  WAS  RATHER  SURPRISED
AT  THE  SIZE  OF  HIS  MOUTH
ONE  DAY  YOU’LL  BE  A  SINGER
MY  LITTLE  BABY BOY
THAT  IS  JUST  AS  LONG
AS  YOU  GROW  A  LITTLE  BIGGER
BUT  YOUR  HANDS  SEEM  SO  STRANGE
THEY  MIGHT  HAVE  TO  BE  REARRANGED
TO  WORK  THE  RIGHT  WAY  AROUND
THE  BOY  GREW  BIGGER
BUT  ALWAYS  KEPT  HIS  FINGER 
ON  THE  TRIGGER
‘TILL  ONE  DAY  AT  SCHOOL
SOMEONE  SAID
MAYBE  HE’S  JUST  A  FOOL
NOT  SO  FAST  WITH  YOUR  JAW
SAID  THE  BOY
I  HAVE  A  NEW  NAME
IT  IS  SOUTHPAW
THE  BOY  GREW  BIGGER
BUT  HIS  HANDS  STAYED  THE  SAME
BUT  HE  WAS  STILL  ON  TOP OF HIS  GAME
THEN  HE  DISCOVERED  MUSIC
AND  WENT  IN SEARCH  OF  A  STORE
THAT  COULD  SELL  HIM  A  GEE’TAR
MADE  SPECIALLY  FOR  A  SOUTHPAW
LOOK  LEFT,  LOOK  RIGHT
THIS  GEE’TAR  GAVE  ME  SUCH  A  FRIGHT
BUT  TO  ME
THIS  IS  A  FINAL  DELIGHT
MANY  YEARS  PASSED
UNTIL  HE  MET  A  GIRL
WHO  PUT  HIM  IN  SUCH  A  WHIRL
THAT  HE  HAD  NO  CHOICE
BUT  TO  USE  HIS  VOICE
TO  UTTER  THE  FATEFUL  WORDS
I  DO,  I  DO,  I  DO
LIFE  WAS  GOOD
A  HOUSE  WAS  BOUGHT
BELIEVE  IT  OR  NOT
THEY  NEVER  EVEN  FOUGHT
UNTIL  ONE  DAY
WHEN  THE  WORLD  COLLAPSED
THE  BANK  CAME  KNOCKING  ON  THEIR DOOR
FORCLOSURE  MY  MAN
WE  ARE  GOING  TO  SEAL  YOUR  FRONT  DOOR
OH  NO  YOU  WON’T
YOU  DON’T  SEEM  TO  REALIZE
I  AM  CALLED – SOUTHPAW
AND  THE  FIRST  MAN  THRU’  MY  DOOR
WILL  FEEL  IT  ON  THE  JAW
THE  BANK  WAS  BEATEN
THEY  LEFT  IN  HASTE
NEVER  TO  TRY  AGAIN  AND  ENTER
THE  FRONT  DOOR
OF  THE  MAN  WHO  SAID
I  AM  SOUTHPAW

Well done to you for taking on the big guns and beating them - maybe you would dig to put chords to the above ''poem'', or maybe you could send it to the bank in question, just to let them know that your support base is worldwide, maybe you could sing it to the bank manager over the phone. lol

Thanks for the mostly kind words buvvy! I think(haha). Big mouth huh?  I like it mon !

Give everything but up.

Re: Southpaw delivers a tko to the banks

Absolutely no insults were meant, I had to find words that rhymed, but as a muso you'll understand. If you put chords to the poem think of how impressed your audiences will be that you can sing about yourself in such a manner - think of how bamboozled they will be if you say that ''buvvy'' wrote the words - it could make for hours of discussion. lol Have a good one.
