| MOM OF CONSTANT LAUNDRY
Matt mentioned the other day that I had "discovered" Garage Band. I think he had hoped I'd find it suitable for recording the second children's album that I am working on (I don't think it will be, in part because I don't really *want* to learn how to be my own sound engineer.) It does just fine for demo-quality recording though, even without a good quality microphone. So for the entertainment of my readers, I offer a very silly song I wrote the other day that I thought others might find amusing. Lyrics are below. Warning, the file is quite large. Mp3 of Mom of Constant Laundry (4.5M) (Right-click and select "download file" or "save file as".) I am a mom of constant laundry I do laundry every day. I have to wash my family's clothing Without thanks and without pay. (She does laundry without thanks and without pay.) I do believe that the laundry doubled When my first child was born. Since that day I've had three others And the laundry pile has grown. (Yes with every child the laundry pile has grown.) I tell you truly that my husband Leaves laundry on the floor. And it seems there's always kleenex In the pockets of his shorts. (He leaves kleenex in the pockets of his shorts.) I find socks wedged in couches And under the seat in the car. No, my kids won't put 'em in the hamper They just leave them whereever they are. (Yes they take them off and leave them where they are.) I do my laundry early in the morning I do laundry late at night. They dirty clothes as fast as I can wash 'em No there ain't no end in sight. (It just seems as if there ain't no end in sight.) Yet this world of constant laundry Come a time, will be no more Oooh, those robes stay white and spotless Forever upon that golden shore. (There'll be no more laundry on that golden shore.) (Oh, and if you are not familiar with the original lyrics, here is one version. Suffice it to say that I have not taken the free "how to play bluegrass guitar" lessons. Not yet, anyway. I'm too busy doing laundry. :-) A reader advised me to register a copyright on this song ASAP. Well, I don't have the spare change to do that right now and I'm not sure that the registration would really make that big a difference if -- as seems VERY unlikley -- some dishonest shuckster out there stole my lyrics and made a lot of money with them. But I know that it has been known to happen, so thanks for the warning, and I WILL add: Lyrics and recording copyright 2004 Sora Colvin.
