Chicken Noodle has a musical soul and a wicked sense of humor, which means it’s comedic show tunes around here pretty regularly.
She’s writing her own songs now, which are delivered at full volume in the living room, often with the advantage of the karaoke machine microphone.
Here’s the latest installment in her Broadway-ready repertoire.
It’s titled “I Don’t Know” (“by You Know Who,” she wrote).
You’ll have to just imagine the tune: dramatic, full of tension and emotion.
I don’t know whether the ocean is flowing right or left
I don’t know where the birds are chirping now,
Maybe in the treetops, high above the ground
I don’t know where the fire chief is turning red, as red as a red thing
A very, very red thing!
I don’t know why you really care about what you care about
I don’t know why you really care about what you care about
Before!
And before!
For some reason, I feel as if these lyrics were inspired by conversations between Captain Daddy and me. But that might be paranoid.
This is not Noodle’s first foray into song writing, incidentally. See Number Two for a hilarious lyrical romp of three years ago.
