Musical number for you...

[reymonkey]

Wrote this a little while back, and I kept meaning to post it. Sung to the same tune as the 'No Coffee Blues', which is the same tune as every other silly blues song written by someone with little musical talent. You know the tune, it's the one that goes 'ba-da-da-dadum'.

No Real Excuse Blues

My cell phone battery's dead,
My car's almost outta gas,
Shoulda got some this weekend
But at almost three dollars I'll pass.
Got a steady job,
But they make me work for my pay.
I work until five,
But I had the day off yesterday.

Ain't got no rent overdue,
Got clothes on my back,
Got me a steady girlfriend,
But won't you cut me some slack?

My life's pretty easy,
I got the no real excuse blues.

I got no line of credit,
But I don't have any debt.
Have a couple pets and apartment,
It's all going well and yet,

My life's pretty easy,
I got the no real excuse blues.

Can't play the piano,
Guitar is too hard;
I keep up this harmonica,
and they'll throw me out into the yard.

My life's pretty easy,
I got the no real excuse blues.

The no real excuse blues.

Hehe. I know the feeling.

I guess that makes it a good blues number, if people can relate. ;)
