    Default Swattin At Barflys (Very rough unfinished draft-Need input)

    Most of this song (if not all) will probably be scrapped, but I'm trying to find a direction around the chorus, which I want to keep. Any idea's?


    It was gossip night
    and we were in the way.
    The women said "skat!",
    "Go out and play".
    I mentioned the bar,
    the girls said ok.
    They gave us the rules
    and we were on our way
    At a corner pub
    called "Tasters Treat"
    the place was hoppin
    and we found a seat.

    (Pre- Chorus)
    I barely had my beer in hand
    when the flirters swarmed on in
    My wedding ring didn't mean a thing
    but I kept shooing them

    I'm....... swattin at barflys circling me
    there buzzin around gettn drinks for free
    Their relentless; won't let me be..........
    Yea, I'm swattin at barflys circling me

    I barely had my beer in hand,
    When I heard the first notes of the band.

    Hey, it rhymes! I'll get back to you on this after I've re-read it a few times.
    Oh,and I love the use of the word "skat"!!!

    Heya Doug.....just a suggestion or two....Dont let it slide, I love it. Keep working on it!!

    I barely had my beer in hand
    when the flies swarmed in
    I flashed my wedding band
    it didn't mean a thing

    Ikept on shooing them.....
    Go AWAY...
    And I kept on shooing them anyway

    Im..... swattin at barflys circling me
    They're buzzin around gettn drinks for free
    They're ageless, relentless: won't let me be
    Yea, Im swatting at barflys circling me.

    Good luck with it Doug
    Cheers, Ingaden

    Oh gosh.....I am so sorry LooKnGlass..... please accept my apologies. I am fairly new on this site, although I think I used to be on one similar about a year ago..... Anyhoo, I love the piece and would love to see it again with further work. Cheers, Ingaden
