punchy pickle song

[whispercricket]

I wrote this song after I partially woke up from my jet-lagged nap this morning and was wandering around emptying the dishwasher and singing to myself (as I sometimes do when I'm punchy). I shall now memorialize the song in my journal. Yes, I am insane - I know because my housemates told me so the minute I shared my little song with them.



I have been told by the snickers from my housemates that there may be some innuendo to the word "pickle" that I did not consider in my punchy state. This is a perfectly cute, innocent little song, so any other thoughts you may have are because your mind is in the gutter. :P

the letters below the words are notes, and the numbers are the number of beats (one beat is about an eighth note). A | sign means that the note is below a. A single quote means a stacatto stop. I think I started on a, but it could have been another note - doesn't matter because everything's relative anyway.

Love a pickle with all your might
a d c-c b a b a
3 1 1-1 2 2 2 3

For every night, a pickle takes a fright
|f a-b a |f a-a b b a
1 2-2 3 ' |f a-a b b a

There are too many pickles by far
|f |g a d-d c-c b a
1 1 2 1-1 1-1 2 6

In a pickle jar.
|f |g a-b a
1 1 1-3 4

So they fight
|f |g a
1 1 1 ' (pause)

Every night
|f-|g a
1-1 1 ' (pause)

In the pickle fight of doom
|f |g a-d c b a
1 1 1-3 2 2 6

Little pickles, yes they fight
|f-|g a-|e |f |g a
1-1 1-5 1 1 6 (or less with pause)

In the pickle fight of doom!
|f |g a-d c a d
1 1 1-3 2 2 6

*blink blink* Even taken as a purely innocent song, that is just plain weird, I have to say. *grin*
