This is my entry for the first round of Song Fu 3 over at QuickstopEntertainment.com! The task was to write a happy song. I came up with a song about a happy zombie. It contains plenty of happiness (e.g., ukulele, brains). I wrote the tune around a ukulele riff I had recorded for a folk song a couple of years earlier.
lyrics
Today on my way to work I met Sarah from next door
She drooled and took my hand and jerked me to the floor
I tried to get back up, still dizzy from the fall
Suddenly I felt hungry, so we headed for the mall
Because there is nothing like a mallful of brains
There is nothing like a mallful of brains
I looked across the street to the diner by the mall
A sign said 'all you can eat,' so I tried to eat them all
Later on my friend Mike came by to grab a drink
I took a little bite of him and then went to see my shrink
Because there is nothing like a mallful of brains
There is nothing like a mallful of brains
I really like to eat brains
I really like to eat brains
I really like to eat brains
I really like...
Brains, a mallful of brains
Brains, a mallful of brains
Brains, a mallful of brains
Brains, a mallful of brains
Mmh, eyeballs!
