(Enjoy the fun!)My original lyrics in a pending San Diego songwriters contest

My Original lyrics to the suggested title given to us all of "Warmer Weather" in a songwriter's contest in San Diego. This is a work in progress until I collaborate with a composer for a matching melody. I'm thinking an upbeat tempo with a single banjo background. Any ideas? Warmer Weather (Richard Lee Orey, Copyright 2011) Verse O, times are bad So I read the ad 'Bout a weatherman's trainin' school Showin' girls in shorts 'N dogs on the grill By the phys ed swimmin' pool Verse Well, they sent me to Pocatello Then Boise, Idaho Next, Fargo 'n dear Omaha I was always on the go Verse Came next sweet ol' Cincy 'N Chicago by the lake Then Baltimore 'n Pittsburgh With a shiver 'n a shake Chorus O, the ice is a pain In Portland, Maine 'N there's better pay In smoggy L.A. I'm due for warmer weather. Verse They sent me on to 'Frisco The city by the bay Then up to gray Seattle Where I soon learned how to pray Verse Next came tornado alley Where I learned to pray s'more It was scary 'n downright pitiful Becomin' a weather whore Chorus The ice is a pain In Portland, Maine 'N there's better pay In smoggy L.A. I'm due for warmer weather. Bridge Yes, times are bad 'N I've been had By the weatherman's trainin' school But my belly's full 'N my rent is paid I'm no economic fool Chorus 'Cause you see The ice is a pain In Portland, Maine 'N there's better pay In smoggy L.A. I'm due for warmer weather. Yes, there's better pay In smoggy L.A. I'm due for warmer weather. Coda I'm due for warmer weather Are we having fun or what?

Fun stuff. Been to most of those places and currently reside in Smogville where the wages are mostly better assuming you have a job. How about the banjo theme from the beverly hillbillies? Patrick

No bad, Richard! Your winter started quite early...and that isn't much fun when no one's really ready. Hope to hear good news about your entry!

Hugs,
