Johnny Mercer - Little Ol' Tune lyrics

I know a friend of mine

And his business is writing songs

It's a kind of a gift and I get a big lift

From his melodies and diphthongs

We got to talk him once

I was curious as could be

To explain what to do, let him tell it to you

Just the way it was told to me

First you write a little ol' tune, real easy

Not as hard to play as let's say part cheesy

Real simple chords in the key of C

A melody you can groove

Next you add some little ol' words on to itJohnny Mercer - Little Ol' Tune - http://motolyrics.com/johnny-mercer/little-ol-tune-lyrics.html

Try to get some people who'll sing to do it

Then if they say, ?My have you got a hit?

You act non committal and say, ?Just a little ol' tune?

Now record your little ol' tune, just hum it

Could you try to fancy it up? Far from it

Dub in some top tenor harmony

Just me, me, me, as you groove

Yes, next you sing a baritone part from way back

Add a zoom, zoom, bass and then start the playback

And when they say, ?Ma, he's singing forte?

You act non committal and say, ?Just a little ol' tune?

You act non committal and say, ?Just a little, just a little ol' tune?
