*************
Here's the story
Of Louie the Lip
Cooler than Cool
Hipper than Hip
Built like a boxer
With hair to his waist
No girl can refuse
They all want a taste
Walks with a swagger..................(RAH)
Slicker than Slick
Charms irresistible......................
Ask any chick
LOUIE THE LIP
LOUIE THE LIP
Although a little past
Middle age
People mistook him
For a young Jimmy Page
He had his faults
Don't get me wrong
But,he could sing his a** off
Even write a good song
Walks with a swagger...............(RAH)
Slicker than Slick
Charm irrestitable.....................
Ask any chick
LOUIE THE LIP
LOUIE THE LIP
Trade as musician
Considered a bum
Sitting in back
Pounding his drum
Last verse,hate to end
On a bummer
What'd you expect
He's only a drummer
Walks with a swagger...............(RAH)
Slicker than Slick
Charm irrestitable.....................
Ask any chick
LOUIE THE LIP
LOUIE THE LIP

How've you been?
I like it bro, pretty unique with an extremely well suited flow. I know my fair share of Louie the lip so tell me, what this piece mean to you? -
Doug you sound like a real songwriter and I appreciate that, this has great flow as smoothtung said. I'm not sure that i can hear surf/punk in my head but i can certainly imagine this as rap or probably more as hip-hop, but that's just me. Great writing, it's a pleasure to read.

Thanks Tee.Anybody that writes a song is a songwriter.Not neccessarly a good one,but a songwriter nonetheless.It bewillders me why this and Ghostrider have got almost no feedback.They are the best songs that my former bandmates and I played.Oh well,I guess sometimes "just words" don't cut it!

Well, here's a late response, Doug. You've produced so much and I entered the poetry and song threads only a year ago
after being very busy on other threads...blablabla...no excuses taken, I know!
Yep, Louie the Lip is put here in such wellchosen, colourful, simple words - something I find almost a MUST for good rap - that he comes alive
though I never met the guy.
I can well imagine you had a strong response with your band when playing this!
Excellent. -
Why thank you!For some reason this got very little response.It's one,of if not the favorite among the few that have heard the songs performed.This really rocks......Big Time!

Cooler than cool, this one. Could have been a Mink Deville song.

Thanks,Peter.So are you.(Cooler than Cool)

Really love "Last verse, hate to end on a bummer". Would love to hear this performed. A great Friday night.

Thanks Cat.This (and Ghostrider)are the two songs that kicked the most a** but received the least amount of feedback on this site.Sometimes bare-bone lyrics can't express what the song has to offer.You should hear One For the Road,power chords a la Led Zepplin,but you'd never know it but reading the lyrics.
