Week 84 - "Compulsory Blue Note Song"

This is a song I wrote for the "Great American Musical" project.


Lyrics:
You think it's really white at the start of the song,
and then a sudden blue note tells you you're wrong.
You must have a compulsory blue note song!

It starts out really straight and so you don't know
Just exactly where this music will go.
You must have a compulsory blue note song!

You never saw it coming 'til
They threw that blue note in your face.
Even when you've learned it still
It kind of sounds a bit out of place.

So throw the rules of musical taste.
Cannot let this soulful groove go to waste.
You must have a compulsory blue note song!

(Neutral syllable/scat break)

You must have a compulsory blue note song!
Every musical has a compulsory blue note song!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
