Once I got a groove going on the piano, next was the melody. As I was trying to get this done fairly quickly I improvised most of the melody and just learned it by doing it over and over again. I must have sung it about 50 times before I got it just how I liked it!
I'll upload a video of me singing it soon, as on this gig the customer gave permission.
I also realized going forward that I would make it my standard policy to retain the rights to the song and recording unless special payment was made to the contrary.
Take a listen to it here! Don't worry, I wrote the song and was given permission, and the song doesn't give any information away about their identities
Opie
Lyrics
I’m Opie
Love me for all the work I do around here
You might help a little bit too.
But aren’t just so you grateful I'm near
You’re in my noble presence
angles smiled, when I came into existence
so you can understand my persistence when I say.
I'm the king, but I don’t get enough food
I’m on the top of the ladder,
So it’s time to make a dinner platter dude and fill it up
With ice cream, pop tarts, cheese,
chicken, chips, and soup, come on please
I'm starving you didn't feed me yet.
(Bridge)
I am the best at judging with simple looks
I'm a the master, just read my books!
For all this education, I don't ask much
I just expect, the following perks
I want my own
5 star kitty restaurant, Hey!
So I can feast each day
I'll invite my girl Kitty Soft Paws.
Cause she gives my heart pause.
I’m high class! I think Sinatra would agree
(Outtro)
I'm the only one you'll need,
ok I guess sis can stay too.
But just take a look at me.
And I Know you'll agree
and If anyone says different I'll just say nooo.
