    Default Set-Back Suzy

    . . . Wrote this in August 2012 as a retro-sound song, thinking it needed reworking. Read it today and decided, No, it'll do!! ENJOY!


    SET-BACK SUZY


    Come here and meet
    Set-back Suzy.
    Tell her “Hi” on Monday,
    She’ll greet you on Tuesday.

    Left home around noon
    To get there at 11.
    Real cool with The Latest,
    She's always “high-5’in.”

    Set-back Suzy!
    Set-back Suzy!
    Come back tomorrow
    I’ll wait for you,
    Truly!

    Set-back Suzy
    Movin’ with The Bump,
    And I don’t mean hair—
    It's all ‘bout the rump.

    Born in the 80s,
    Ooh! Color and discos
    But she wears Levis
    Totin’ a pistol.

    Set-back Suzy!
    Set-back Suzy!
    Come back tomorrow
    I’ll wait for you,
    Truly!

    Oh, she got the moves,
    She got the tempo.
    If she knew the beat
    She’d be contempo.

    Set-back Suzy!
    Set-back Suzy!
    Come back tomorrow
    I’ll wait for you,
    Truly!

    Oh, she got the moves,
    She got the tempo.
    If she knew the beat
    She’d be contempo.

    Set-back Suzy!
    Set-back Suzy!
    Come back tomorrow
    I’ll wait for you,
    Truly!

    This reminds me of a song I wrote called Back Seat Becky.I stole the name from a Cheers episode.I don't recall what it was about only I know it was about making out in the back seat of a car.Oh,this is cool,too!Tempo-Contempo rhyme;Love it!

    Thanks, guys. A short, fun one, I hope! To the style of the (Kentucky) Everly Brothers' "Wake-Up Little Suzy."

    I'm a life long fan of the Everly Brothers.Their harmonies were unequaled in their day.They also had looks that girls wanted in their boyfriends.Sometimes everything comes in one package;talent,looks and charisma!Oh,and that hair!

    Frankie, I bet the Everly Bros would have liked Set-back Suzy a lot! It is indeed upbeat and an upbeat tempo it requires.

    A nice surprise from your hand, Melady

    Not really much "content" to these lyrics. But that's the point, I suppose. Set-Back Suzy as a person doesn't have much "content" either!

    Exactly! This correct reflection made me like it)))
