Story Behind The Song

THE FOURTH SONG IN AN ALBUM CALLED "SONG AND DANCE".

Song Description

A PRETTY, HAPPY, LIGHT-HEARTED JAZZ WALTZ.

Lyrics

JUST A PRETTY SONG

(VERSE-RAP BEAT)

A HEAVY BACK-BEAT DRUMMING SAMPLE,
THAT?S THE MUSIC TRACK.
AN ANGRY MACHO RECITATION,
THAT?S THE HIP HOP RAP.
FILLED WITH THREATS, COMPLAINTS, REVENGE,
THE LATEST FATAL POSSE FEUD.
IT?S A WORLD OF "HO?S", FOUR LETTER WORDS
AND SUPER ATTITUDE
IT?S DISSES EVERYBODY.
EVERYTHING IS WRONG.
SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HAPPINESS,
A MELODY, A SONG.

(REFRAIN-LIGHT JAZZ WALTZ)

THIS IS JUST A CROONY TUNE,
A SPOONY, JUNEY, LOONY TUNE.
HASN?T ANY ANGER, ANGST OR WOE.
IT?S TO WHISTLE OR HUM...OR TO
"DUM DEE DUM DA DEE"...

IT?S A LIGHT AND AIRY SONG,
A FAIRY, FRED ASTAIREY SONG.
JUST A WAY TO SAY IT?S TIME TO START...
MAKING DAY DREAMS.
HASN?T ANY NITTY GRITTY,
JUST AN ITTY, BITTY DITTY
JUST A PRETTY SONG TO FILL YOUR HEART.
