Pretty Women... Darn...

Two nights ago, a guitarist and and I wrote a song.
Following in the paths of the bands "Stolen Bread is Better", "Guerra Duo Some", and "The Confederacy of Funk," This guitarist and I decided to write a song about one topic that everyone can relate to and love... Me...

The songs about me are so far titled: "The Hawaiian Vampire"; untitled piece; "The Glum Chum"; and this new one...

I wish we had been recorded when we sang this last night, but until I get a recording here is the poem/lyrics.

Verse 1:
Sometime not too long ago
Scooning lake Ontario
Chris Cunningham made a pilgrimage
He’d a mission well in mind
Leaving all his friends behind
And to himself he made this simple pledge

Verse 2:
“I go forward on a quest this day
To chase the loneliness away
And find that which makes truly me full
With all the curves I find so sweet
I will search until I meet
The one to whom my heart faithfully pulls”

Fake chorus:
Hey, Ho!
Searching lake Ontario
All I found were pretty women
Hey, Ho!
Chris Cunningham is afloat
Traveling the lake in his boat
Hey!!

Verse 3:
Battling through storms and waves
Escaping sexy mermaid caves
And Sirens tried to call him with their song
But he would not accept defeat
He searched for waffles he could eat
And all he found were pretty women… Darn…

Real chorus:
Hey, Ho!
Where did that Waffle Island go?
All I found were pretty women… Darn
Hey, Ho!
Chris Cunningham is afloat
Searching for his waffle island
Hey!!

Verse 4:
Though his boat was nearly torn apart
He still had longing in his heart
To go on ‘til he could barely stand
Like a modern day Odysseus
Through death and famine he persists
Searching for that Waffle Island… Island!

Real chorus:
Hey, Ho!
Where did that Waffle Island go?
All I found were pretty women… Darn
Hey, Ho!
Chris Cunningham is afloat
Searching for his waffle island
Hey!!
