New Music Monday

I recorded a little tune for my baby’s birthday. It made its world premiere for an audience of one over the weekend, so you can listen to it now.

It’s called “Usually,” and it’s about our adult relationship, you see. Were I in high school, I might have written a love song called “Always and Forever Saccharine,” but now I’m thirty years old, and I know that true love is more about “Usually.”

Thank god.

“Always” love makes me want to gag, which is why I’m a cat person, not a dog person.

I am definitely a Maggie person, and this song is for her. She likes it when I rap.

USUALLY

My baby’s fond of animals
My baby’s fond of me

Usually

I’ve got a little bit of time in between events
And she’s got a little bit of time in between events
It’s times like these we have the best times
Yes, it’s times like these we have the best times

Usually

She fills a great big room
With her itty-bitty body
A dancer, a hotty
But modern, not naughty
She drinks iced toddy
On her cruise ta Houston
The town we used ta roost in
I lose my blues by booze in

But she’s a Wilhite
Keeps her ass tight
And her teeth white
And if I act right
She’ll stay the night…

Usually

She don’t like whiskey
She likes iced tea with Grey Goose
She don’t like whiskey
She’ll take a dirty martini or two

You say it’s your birthday
If you’ll allow me to opine
I hope that it’s happy
I think you’ll enjoy 29

And many more…

If there is any country on earth where the course of true love may be expected to run smooth, it is America.
