Johnny Mercer

Little Ol' Tune
I know a friend of mineAnd his business is writing songsIt's a kind of a gift and I get a big liftFrom his melodies and diphthongsWe got to talk him onceI was curious as could beTo explain what to do, let him tell it to youJust the way it was told to meFirst you write a little ol' tune, real easyNot as hard to play as let's say part cheesyReal simple chords in the key of seeA melody you can grooveNext you add some little ol' words on to itTry to get some people who'll sing to do itThen if they say, "My have you got a hit"You act non committal and say, ?Just a little ol' tune"Now record your little ol' tune, just hum itCould you try to fancy it up? Far from itDub in some top tenor harmonyJust me, me, me, as you grooveYes, next you sing a baritone part from way backAdd a zoom, zoom, bass and then start the playbackAnd when they say, "Ma, he's singing forte"You act non committal and say, "Just a little ol' tune"You act non committal and say, "Just a little, just a little ol' tune" Aus Songtexte Mania
