In an extremely tongue in cheek mode, invoking John McEnroe, 'You can not be serious!' 'Correct John!'....Dooby Dooby Doo..in approximate 12 bar blues, with wailing guitars, mournful harmonicas and heart tugging harp......everybody sing......
I got ma royalty cheque, twas in the mail today
I couldn't wait to open it and then I began to pray
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
I took it to my bank yeh, they laughed at what they saw
You wanna pay this in man, just then I knew the score
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
So where's ma fame and fortune, It certainly ain't here
'Cos with my royalty cheque ya know I can hardly buy a beer
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
But then I do not drink beer, I'd rather have me tea
The banker he looked at ma cheque and then he went tee-hee
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
But I'm a published author PA they saw to that
Now my words they are in print I'm prouder than a cat
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
I know some people bought ma book, my words they will have read
I guess I won't be famous 'till I'm a long time dead
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
But if I add them up yeh, my royalty cheques the three
I think I might have just enough to buy a cup of tea!
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
So to the PA authors who recently got their cheques
If we pool them all together we'd all sing you can bet
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
If you got double digits, well best of luck to you
Will you tell all your secrets how we can do it too?
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
I could go on forever immortalised in print
But still I gotta problem you see I'm really skint (BritSlang: no money!)
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
I'm still a PA author and will be 'till I die
He's a published author says the spirit in the sky
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
Not all can ever say this, but we say out loud
I am a published author , PA you done us proud
No double digits, uh! no double digits
Man oh Girl I got the royalty blues
Hey maybe we all sing this at the PA No-Lolly-Alla-Palooza Jamboree
Sorry, had to stop, me g-string's bust!!!!!
