The Talkin' Song Repair Blues

In the style of

Alan Jackson

Lyrics

the mechanic raised up
from under my hood
and he shook his head
and said
this ain't good

the timin' belt's
done shrunk
one size
too small

those spark plug
wires are a little
too long and your
main prodsponder's
nearly gone
the injector ports
are stripped
and that ain't all

the torque
converter's
runnin' low
on torque
and that
water pump's
nearly down
a quart

but we
caught it all
in time
so you're in luck

he said
i've got the time
and i've got
the parts
just give me
the word
and i'm ready
to start

i think
we can
bring her in for
eight hundred bucks

but don't be
downhearted
i can fix it
for you sonny

it won't
take too long
it'll just
take money

then he said
aren't you
that songwriter guy
and i said yes i am

he said so am i
and he sat down
and played me a song
by the grease rack

when he
finished singin'
he gave me a smile
and i closed my eyes
and pondered a while

and he said
what do you think
now don't
hold nothin' back

well i gave him
my most
sorrowful look
and i said
this song's
got a broken hook

and i can
order you
a new one
from nashville
but it won't
be cheap

and i know
you been usin'
a cut-rate thesaurus
'cause your adverbs
are backed up
into your chorus

now your verse is
runnin' on verbs
that are
way too weak

but don't be
downhearted
i can fix it
for you sonny

it won't
take too long
it'll just
take money

and i said
hold on friend
now i'm not through
i hate to be the one
to give you
this news

but your whole
melodic structure's
done worked
itself loose

it's got so many
dotted eighth notes
in it
i'd keep her
under fifty beats
per minute

i mean that's
just me talkin'
it's really
up to you

you've got a bad
safety problem
with that
dominant chord
with the
augmented fifth

just see how
dangerously high
it raises you up
so just go on over
and work on my car
and i'll sit here
by the fan
and chances are

i can straighten
this thing out
for eigh-uh
nine hundred bucks

but don't be
downhearted
i can fix it
for you sonny

it won't
take too long
you guessed it
well it may be a hit
i like it
