G'day all JPFolks, I just dreamed up a new song and I called it "There's got to be somewhere"/(c)16.03.04/Ray Thyer.

Verse1.
Went downtown with a big wide smile on my face,
Done worked real hard this last twelve months in my workplace.
Now it's time to take my family overseas
to a place 'n lie in the sun somewhere
great to be.

Verse2.
We've scrimped 'n saved 'n done without
all year long,
thoughts of holidays across the sea
kept us from
spendin 'n buyin things unnecessarily.

Chorus.
There's got to be somewhere- somewhere
the sun shines bright
where birds chirp their sweet songs
'n stars fill the night.
A little place on this earth free of
misery.
There's got to be somewhere- somewhere
there's got to be.

Verse3.
"Sit down for a spell", the travel agent
told me "'n when you're done telling me
where you want to be I'll work out
ev-ry thing just fine 'n dandy.
You've come to the right place to spend
your money".

Chorus.
There's got to be somewhere- somewhere
the sun shines bright
where birds chirp their sweet songs
'n stars fill the night.
A little place on this earth free of
misery.
There's got to be somewhere- somewhere
there's got to be.

Verse4.
"Haiti is cheap this time of year,riots'll
be over soon 'n Baghdad's in our custody.
North Korea 'n Pakistan have lots to see.
TAKE IT FROM ME AUSTRALIA'S THE PLACE
TO BE!

Outro: Australia's a beautiful place to be...

Hi Ray and Verell, This is really cute, I love the twist at the end. Your lyrics are getting so much better. There are a afew things I would change a little, but, all in all, the hook is good, the story is good and the ending is quite nice too. Good luck with this. No doubt, your musical composition will iron out the glitches I see. Take care and God Bless you both. Idamarie

G'day Idamarie, thanks a million for your liking my song and for your kind words. I confess I can't write music nor sing but I'll let you on a secret I don't tell most everyone I used to teach ballroom dancing but that was a three 'n near four decades ago. I can only live in hope that someone likes me song/s enough to write and sing them. But as me dear old Dad used to say if you wait long enough somethings bound to turn up and make your life interesting again.
I hope that he is so very right and my turn is next. God bless and my best wishes,Ray.
