Wheelbarrow drinking song

[Arkwright]

Ladies and Gentlemen, charge your glasses please and feel free to sing along if you know the words...

In my garden there’s a garden shed
In which is my wheelbarrow all shiny and red
I loves my barrow and keep it clean
it's a fine one wheeled carting machine
won't you come see my barrow, please?
Come ride in my wheelbarrow with me

oh, it's a mighty fine barrow with only one wheel
Made of reinforced galvanized steel
oh, it's a mighty fine barrow with only one wheel
Made of reinforced galvanized steel

I wheeled it to Durham at a quick pace
To win the North England Wheelbarrow Race
I collected my prize from the university dean
Champion potatoes and big runner beans
I filled my barrow right to the top
And wheeled it home with a skip and a hop

oh, it's a mighty fine barrow with only one wheel
Made of reinforced galvanized steel
oh, it's a mighty fine barrow with only one wheel
Made of reinforced galvanized steel

And down at my local, the old dog and bone
It’s true my barrow is very well known
For when I’m full of ale I’ll sing this song
And those who know it sing right along
I’ll sing till I’m hoarse and my ale money’s drunk
I’ll roll my barrow home, drunk as a skunk

oh, it's a mighty fine barrow with only one wheel
Made of reinforced galvanized steel
oh, it's a mighty fine barrow with only one wheel
Made of reinforced galvanized steel

Is that your own creation? 'Coz if it is well done.

Is that your own creation? 'Coz if it is well done.

Google says yeah, it is.

That's a really good job, you should sell it to the Wurzels :p

[Fish Finger]

How does the tune go then?

[Arkwright]

I haven't written a tune as I'm tone-deaf, wouldn't mind someone putting music to it.

It would make it easier to sing it on my way home from parties.

[Shiny]

I've written some music for it. I'll just nip and put it down on an 8 Track ASAP.

Should be up here soon.

edit: Oooer, Matron!

Download backing track (http://putstuff.putfile.com/25309/8089670)

As I understand it, Crab will be recording some Wurzels style singings over it when he gets his arse off RetroMUD.

another edit: Damnit, it's just occured to me that there's a couple of obvious fuckups in that. But it's generally not bad for something thrown down in an hour by a guy who can only hear out of one ear at the minute.

[Arkwright]

Aye, that's champion that is!

Ta muchly, Rocket.

[Bappel]

I've got a good melody for this tune. Too bad I dont have the stuff to record it. I'll see what I can do. Its a great lyric. And the chorus, the melody for that one just poped up straight away. It should be quick paced and sound almost like an irish drinkingsong.

Roll up to see a magic trick! See the meter disappear before your eyes!

So yeah I'm doing this but between the meter disappearing at times and Paddy doing flourishes on his guitar and homework it is DIFFICULT and may take a while.

[Shiny]

Paddy doing flourishes

Flourish, singular, there's ONE at the end.

...looks like this could take a while kiddies.

[crab]

Update:

Crab: it says "fuck you" to its genre at 0:39 and starts throwing me off entirely at 0:53
Paddy: It does shift from straight Scrumpy and Western to Scrumpy and Western/Punk at 0:39
Paddy: NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ARKWRIGHT HAD DONE IT HIMSELF
Crab: YEAH I BLAME ARKWRIGHT
Crab: MAN HE MAKES ME SO MAD

INTERNET DRAMA
ARTISTIC TEMPARMENTS ABOUND

[Shiny]

Wtf man, I was just about to post that.

Anyway, he's had to bugger off now, and he's probably not going to have time later. Sucks, doesn't it?



Note to self - Never EVER collaberate over MSN again. Ever. Full stop.

Sweet mother of Boris, give me an intro and a musical solo at some point so I'm not just AAAAAAAAAAAARGH
seriously, I give up this is hopeless.

[Shiny]

Paddy - www.myspace.com/captainawesomeuk <-- Now with free pens!
18:39 Who cares? It's only lyrics to a song posted on a set of forums

Crab
18:39 EXACTLY
18:40 but seriously
18:40 I give up

Aaaaaand there you go :(

[crab]

my god there is no intro, no rests, no ending, no consistent genre, no consistent meter and all I have is a goddamned dictaphone
I'm not the Messiah, you know

[Shiny]

I'm not the Messiah, you know

Lies.

*thread withers*

[esquilax]

How do you drink wheelbarrows?

[Arkwright]

with large doses of PAIN!

My english is so ambiguous or just plain bad. As is my poetic meter apparently.
