Paradise
©2016 Robert Randall Burke

I've got a cat
Who plays the bongos
But he can't keep very good time
I got a whole case of Cuervos
But I ain't got any lime.


Got a monkey
Plays piano
He stays drunk all of the time
But he's a Union monkey
So I can't keep him in line.


And it's so hard
So hard
To keep this party goin'
Here in Paradise
So hard
So hard
So hard livin'
Here In Paradise.

Bob,

I love it!!! The arrangement is spectacular, the mix is spot on and your singing is the icing on a very fine cake. As I listened, images of Carmen Miranda and Harry Belafonte came to mind.

All in all, this is so very cleverly written and as with many of your lyrics, you show us all how to use words both economically and with bulls-eye accuracy.

I enjoyed it a great deal.

Regards,
Noel

Ah... they don't dance like Carmen no more...

But if your cat plays bongos, that's something!

Another amazing minimal-number-of-words-write.

Love the picture - that looks just like my cat - including the beer... he's here trying to type for me...

... and the monkey piano, too!

And the vocal, of course...

fj

Funny! I like this lyrics. Very humorous tune. Well done!

Bob
Beautifully done! Evocative and clever.

A super listen Bob! Simple but very more effective for it. I love the mood, lyrics and vocals.

Best wishes,
John

Noel,

Thanks for the listen and kind comments. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll tell the band (when they sober up).

Regards,

Bob

fj,

Thanks for the listen. The Bongo Cat is cool, but that drunk monkey is a pain.


Regards,

Bob

David,

Glad you got a laugh out of this. Thanks for the kind comment.


Regards,

Bob

Peter,

Thanks. Appreciate the listen.

Regards,

Bob

Hey John,

Thanks for the kind remarks. "Simple" comes easy to me. That's what they always called me in school.



Regards,

Bob

Bob,

Such a cool song - love the arrangement and delivery. Excellent!

Bob

hi bob well done very enjoyable great work thanks eric

One of the very top songs this year for the forum.

We will continue to enjoy it as we just added it to our
SC playlist.

Wish we were on our way to that club!

Stellar write, vocal and mix.

J&B

Very cute, sweet little tune!! Everything is done just right. Great vocal! Take care. Greg

LOL! That's the best laugh I've had in a while Bob. What a well done comedy song that so skillfully poked a little fun.

But he's a Union monkey
So I can't keep him in line. ROFL!

Bob,

Thanks for listening and commenting.


Regards,

Bob

Eric,

Glad you enjoyed my little band's story.


Regards,

Bob

J & B,

When's the next I75 song coming?



Regards,

Bob

Greg,

Thanks for listening. Appreciate it.

Bob

Josie,


Glad you got a laugh out of it. Thanks for the kind remarks.

Hello Bob,

I like your song a lot. Great "mexican cantina" style.
Nice lyrics. Super vocal.

Sergio

Sergio,

Thanks for listening and the kind remarks. Hope you are well.


Regards,

Bob

Bob, this is a great, fun tune. Enjoyed it a lot. Paradise is such a great place to be except there are no limes and you can't properly enjoy one of those Jimmy Buffett Cheeseburgers.

Bwahahaha!!!


Glad you enjoyed it Charlie. I think we've played "Cheeseburger In Paradise" more times than Jimmy has.

Conch Republic Forever!






Regards,

Bob

Cool song ! Love ur voice !

Leo,

Thanks. Just a bit of fluff to have a laugh.


Regards,

Bob

Excellent song, nicely done and with the right balance of humor and musicianship. Thanks for posting this!

Buttrey,


Thanks for the listen and kind words.



Regards,

Bob

Sweet song!

It's too funny but I've got a similar song sitting on the shelf with verses about animals and done in a Spanish influenced style - Tejano.

(I'll have to get to recording it.)

Too funny!!! It's good that you kept the time short and resisted the temptation to add another verse. Much more effective. Well sung as usual. There sure is a place in this world for songs like this. Tom

Lawrence,

Can't wait to hear your animal song.

Thanks for the listen.

Regards,

Bob

Tommy,

Thanks for listening and commenting. Love your last one!

Regards,

Bob

Bob

What a lot of fun!

Tango meets reggae.

Great, fun lyrics. (I'm just a little sorry that paradise comes at a cost)

Top, entertaining song.

Trevor,

Thanks for listening and the kind words.

Bob
