Week 01 - Writing Bad Lyrics Is Better Than Writing No Lyrics (190101)

from Song A Week, Volume 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Burger King offers these junior breakfast burritos
I think they are pretty good
Three burritos costs three dollars ninety cents
And that’s a pretty sweet deal

I wrote this in 15 minutes
While I waited for Burger King to open
Obviously it isn’t the greatest thing ever written
Writing bad lyrics is better than writing no lyrics

NPR is the best on a cloudy morning
When you’re hungry and need a breakfast burrito
Listening to Paula Poundstone almost makes me forget
How very hungry I am today

I wrote this in 15 minutes
While I waited for Burger King to open
Obviously it isn’t the greatest thing ever written
Writing bad lyrics is better than writing no lyrics

Not every song needs a bridge
Some are better off without one
But after finishing the verses to this one
I had eight minutes left, so here we are
