I'm stumped! I'm having such a hard time thinking about a new song and lyrics. Do you ever get stuck thinking about something to think about? This sometimes happens to writers, they get writer's block. They can't think of anything to write about, their characters and plot remain suspended until new ideas come to them. I was telling a friend that I couldn't come up with a new song, and she suggested one. So I mulled it over, and I am feeling groovy with it!
The song is from Paul Simon and is called The Fifty Ninth Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy).
Slow down you movin' to fast
You gotta make the morning last
Just kickin down the cobblestones
Lookin for fun
And feelin groovy.
Hello lampost
Whatcha knowing?
Come to watch your flowers growin.
Aincha got some rhymes for me?
Doo Bee Doo Doo
Feeling groovy.
Got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its pedals on me...
Life I love you
All is groovy.
