Murphy’s Law Song
As always, we end the series with lyrics to an original song for which you’ll need to imagine a tune. Those brave enough to share their renditions can email an audio or video file to macgouganatlarge@gmail.com. They’ll be posted at a link I’ll share once there’s a reasonable amount of content there.
It’s probably asking for trouble to taunt Murphy, but I thought it might make for a different angle on a love song.
HEY, MR. MURPHY! Hey, Mr. Murphy, We been breakin’ your law! Turns out your logic has a bit of a flaw You say that everythin’ is bound to go wrong That noise you’re hearin’ in the sound of a gong When I’m with my Baby, it’s a beautiful sight - Everything that possible can’s goin’ right! Hey, Mr. Murphy We been breakin’ your law! Nothin’ is droppin’ but your cred and your jaw Hey, Mr. Murphy Hey, Mr. Murphy Hey, Mr. Murphy We been breakin’ your law! Hey, Mr. Murphy We ain’t scared in the least We’re proud to be wanted by the Murphy Police We know your philosophy’s just waitin’ to fail Might as well watch if from the Murphy Town Jail Hey, Mr, Murphy, does this give you a fright? Everything that possible can’s goin’ right! Hey, Mr. Murphy We been breakin’ your law! Nothin’ is droppin’ but your cred and your jaw Hey, Mr. Murphy Hey, Mr. Murphy Hey, Mr. Murphy We been breakin’ your law!
