Can't Have Kate And Edith Too


Verse
It was my last year in high school
When I met my Kate
Truth of the matter
It was a blind date


That blind date we had
It turned into more
Next thing I knew- I was
Carryin' Kate through the door


Things seemed to prosper
We were on top
Bought us a house
A doughnut- shop


Things just got better
As our business grew
Kneaded some help
So I hired Edith Magooo


Chorus
"Edith might be the icing
And I might be the cake
But you can't have- that icing
And your cake too!"


"You've been pretty lucky
And made lots of dough
You kneaded your help
NOW THAT HELP MUST GO!"


Verse
The pasteries were sweet
Edith was too
Things soon got sticky
With Edith Magooo


I could see up ahead
Things mught not be so great
My gut- it did tell me
I might lose my kate


It wasn't too long
I found I was right
Kate she found out
We had a big fight


Kate she said"now see here Richard
I heard through the grapevine
About you..................
And MISS MA-GOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Chorus
"Edith might be the icing
And I might be the cake
But you can't have that icing
And your cake too!"


"You've been pretty lucky
And made lots of dough
You kneaded your help
NOW THAT HELP MUST GO!'



Verse
She said"either she goes
Or I do- cause...
You can't have your Kate
And...Edith tooooo!"


"So read my lips Richard
This can't go on
If this keeps up
I'll soon be gone."


Then I said to Kate
"I hope it's not too late
I realize now...
I made a mistake."


"The icing was nice
But I paid the price
My tail I did bake
Since I burnt my Kate"

BRIDGE
"Just give me a chance
And I promise you
I'll take care of business
And my SWEET TOOTH TOO!"


And from now on
It's just me and you
I might get some cake
And eat it too


I learned my lesson
I agree with you
I can't have my Kate
And Edith toooo...!


Coda
No- I can't have my cake
And- Eat- It- Tooooooooo!

Cute Jim, very cute!

Caroline: Hee Haw- I got a couple like this one. I do get a lot of fun comments from this one. One of my part-time jobs- I work with Kate. This was long after I wrote this song. She was thrilled someone wrote a song with her name- she is a very talented person - she has a major in music and I believe she just recently got a try out with the Omaha Music Symphony Orchestra. I guess she must be a great singer- I plan to go listen to her perform. I have a lot of songs- just don't know where to start. I think my dads music career has a lot to do with my songs- he did a lot of Hank Williams and many others- he was very popular back in the 40's and 50's on the radio. When records took over(presto chanjo) my dad was an instant home builder and carpenter. I actually wrote a song "Write That Wrong-Write That Song" that is copyright and hope to record it some day. Thanks for your input;likewise glyn-she is a great person.

Clever Title,

Looks a bit long ,Good story clever work,

My Tail I Did Bake, we dont speak this way, you've changed it for the rhyme and it spolis it

Hey Lamora- sorry I'm late in getting back- of course your right I guess I've read too many William Faulk books- some times I have a transition problem writing my songs and reading. Thanks.

Jim--

This is cute, and great play on words!! Best of luck, and have a great weekend!!

les_paul_gurl: Thank you- you are kind.This is a rewrite. My new music is somewhat better- but as you, know my choruses keep my songs from reaching their expectations.Yet I'm focus to have fun and to be content with progress no matter how small the steps. I do feel good when I see my lyrics make a lot of people also having fun with the stories; really that's what they are- songs we can relate to- That's my interpretation and my aim. Thank you and I know you love music and are a seasoned professional- your input is appreciated. I see your name quite a while.
