I Been Down Town



Well I been down town splashing all my money, watching all the people go by.

Baked beans blue jeans trying to keep my shoes clean, think I'll try some apple pie,

Rain falls painted walls why you think I do it for, try to catch a cab for a ride.

Phone rings birds sing paper in the trash tin traffic piling up at the lights.


Ive been feeling poorly and I hope you'll give me some pity
I aint got time for living in the dirty city.

Bridge

Train sounds city bound walking through the play ground. Dont you think I keeping good time.

Dog bark car park listen to my beating heart. Walking on a railway line.

Down stairs unawares woman in a rocking chair
Leaving all my worries behind.

Saturday Monday even got a blues day.
I think Ill make a stitch in time.


Ive been feeling poorly and I hope you'll give me some pity
I aint got time for living in the dirty city.

What a tune! This had me moving in my seat - the groove is infectious, and I love the vocals in this too! The horn solo was a fantastic addition.

Great work on this - thanks so much for sharing smile

Good Morning, Rob (Afternoon in Oz),

Loved it. Reminds me of a few songs from years back with the vocal treatment. The trumpet is was a great choice. I'm still humming this in my head ... that's a good thing, in my opinion.

Nice work!!!

Alan

Reminds me a bit of Creeque Alley by the Mamas and Papas.

Good song, enjoyed the listen.

Bob,
Very enjoyable!
Kenny beat me to the Mungo Jerry thought - you`ve really captured a sing along pop groove on this and I enjoyed the images in the lyrics.
