Writing a humorous song from a woman's point of view is fun but a bit of a challenge.....LOL! . . . Mama! bring the Elmers! He's done broke my heart again. Find a sad song on the radio to match this mood I'm in. Got a cravin' for some ice cream, all the chocolate I can stand, Gonna Google the divorce courts for a newly single man. (Chorus) Duct tape alone won't fix this, can't drink brandy fast enough. When your heart goes humpty-dumpty, you're left feeling mighty rough. When your pumper's in the dumpster and he wants to be just friends ... Mama, bring the Elmers! He's done broke my heart again. I knew I shouldn't fall for a handsome devil-man Wavy hair and deep blue eyes and a last-all-winter tan. His smile could melt the ice caps; his kiss would curl my toes. His touch was too much for my skin ... and then I lost my clothes. (Chorus) Duct tape alone won't fix this, can't drink brandy fast enough. When your heart goes humpty-dumpty, you're left feeling mighty rough. When your pumper's in the dumpster and he wants to be just friends ... Mama, bring the Elmers! He's done broke my heart again. Guess it couldn't last forever, musta known that from the start. It had to be, subconsciously I knew he'd break my heart. 'suppose it's really my fault, though he says it's him, not me. I just thought we'd make it last until date number three. (Bridge) I can't blame the man for looking at a younger, fresher face ... but dammit, she's my sister and she needs to learn her place! (Chorus) Duct tape alone won't fix this, can't drink brandy fast enough. When your heart goes humpty-dumpty, you're left feeling mighty rough. When your pumper's in the dumpster and he wants to be just friends ... Mama, bring the Elmers! He's done broke my heart again. [This message has been edited by ethome (02-19-2009 12:58 AM).] |

Well, she was only at date number two!!! ... so she did take it easy after all! This is a great, funny, uplifting write. I don't detect any sadness. A wonderful ballad, dear Eric! Love, Margherita |

Eric, I might add that Mother never did any huffing, now me; that was a different matter entirely. Please pass the bag. Bobby |

Eric, When I was a kid, glue sniffing was a way to get high. It was called "huffing". It involved airplane glue in a paper bag. Then the idea was to huff in the bag, and smell the glue. I was kinda a pioneer in the practice. It was dangerous, because if you huffed too much you would destroy your liver, and you would die a miserable death.

Eric, Very nice job, Standing appause. I like song lyrics in the broken hearted venue. I was trying to put music to it, but just keep seeing the elmers glue running down her chest. . . (Disturbing) And Momma saying: Just rub this in untill it gets all sticky, You'll forget him in no time darlin. LOL Thats sooooo wrong in sooooo many ways. WT. |

WT Thanks for the visit. Yes, you're right that is poor lyrical line but it was meant to be satirical and humorous. However, it could be tweaked and made more serious. Thanks for giving the melody and timing a try. Eric |

Thought I replied to this the first time I read it. Maybe I was laughing to hard to hit the send button.  Loved it and laughed just as hard this time and bringing it to the top where it belongs. pssst ... any chance of getting front row tickets when you sing this one live? |

Eric, another delightful read, I wished I could hear it sung. Many great lines, these are my favourite: When your heart goes humpty-dumpty, you're left feeling mighty rough. Have a marvelous day! Mark |
