The System
This was the song I had to pull out of my wazoo on Monday night to finish the challenge. I didn’t try anything fancy, since I had not time for re-takes, but I think it came out OK. It could really use a country slide-guitar or something, though. Any volunteers?
When I’m wondering what kinda shirt to wear
I don’t just choose one hanging there
I take the first one on the right
the others are simply out of my sight
From the left I take a pair of jeans
never substituting blues for greens
It helps me get decisions made
so my commute wont be delayed
Ref
I have a system that works for me
It helps me be what I can be
I have a system for everything
even for which key to sing
It’s time to have some breakfast now
A piece of pork or a piece of cow?
Perhaps some fruit would be OK
But It’s determined by the week and day
I wonder if it’s a day to shave
But my decision has been made
I don’t even need a mirror to say
If it’s Sunday Wednesday or Friday
Ref
My schedule is set for me
everything works out perfectly
My only trouble will appear
Whenever something interferes
With the system I have planned so well
Then everything will go to hell
I’ll have to start all over again
And hope my system never ends
