My Filk Repertoire

Liner Notes

No demo for this one - it's a parody of a song that probably everyone in the Western world has heard at least once in their lifetime. Have fun singing along with the earworm!

Not entirely satisfied with the last line; I could use suggestions on how to improve it. (I get itchy about rhyming lines where the rhyme is the same word twice, usually.)

Lyrics

My Filk Repertoire
(TTTO “My Favorite Things” by Rodgers and Hammerstein)

Songs about filkers and songs about fandom
Songs by two people who sing them in tandem
Songs that are cheeri-ose, songs about noir
That’s how I’m building my filk repertoire

First it was FAWM and now it’s 50/90
Writing the lyrics that keep me up nightly
Striving for messages that will not bore
All part of building my filk repertoire

Get a chord chart
Write a lyric
Parody a song
There’s dozens of ways to add songs to my list
I hope it won’t take too long

Songs about Klingons and songs about Faerie
Songs about princes and who they will marry
Songs that are classics and songs heard before
All of them go in my filk repertoire

Songs about filkers and songs about singing
Songs about romance and songs about swinging
Songs about hobbits and songs about Lore
All of them will be in my repertoire!

Write my own stuff
Go to circles
Buy the albums too
There’s dozens of ways to add songs to my list
I hope to do them for you
