FAWM: "Bring Your Own Cowbell (BYOC)"

Bring Your Own Cowbell (BYOC)

Liner Notes

#morecowbell #nochordsjustcowbell
i've been trying to write this song for years. i got the idea for the title so long ago but could never get the first version of a bad melody for it unstuck from my head . somehow i managed today to get a version i like. no chords yet - maybe later, maybe not. constructive criticism welcome. (this is obviously a rough first draft :) )

Lyrics

CHORUS:
B - Y- O - C means
bring your own cowbell
play it all night, just
go and give 'em hell

You'll know which house to attend
when you arrive around the bend
just head around back when you come
say hello and start havin' fun

We'll have ear plugs, in a bowl
makin noise is our goal
you may have heard the neighbors say
some awful things the other day

don't worry 'bout the cops stoppin' the fun
noise ordinance don't start 'til one
if neighbors complain, we'll just yell
"Give the folks MORE COWBELL"

It’s a good-time hoedown, focused on the greatest percussion instrument of all! Lots of terrific lyrics here, starting from the very first lines of the chorus, and of course lots of terrific cowbell already in place. It’s tremendous fun already, and I’m looking forward to when you maybe do a full-fledged version one day!

Hell Yeah. I Love this song. Reminds me of an old Irish tune or old slave protest hymn. I can hear a room of sweaty smiling revolutionaries belting this out with you. Keep on rocking and writing! so creative. so good.
