Roy Rogers - Yippie Kia Yay

Im standing here on the stage

And my notes are all blank

I’ve tried to picture you naked

But you all look better than me

My heart is racing with excitement and I can hardly speak

My god, it’s finally happened, you really DO just love me

*

Was it the spotlight or moonlight

That tried to outshine my glow?

Was it the river or rapper

Thattried to out do my flow?

Is this a dream that I’m dreaming or have I finally arrived-

It’s hard to gauge what is real, with this excitement inside

*

I want to thank my mom for believing - I was worth more that I thought

And my second grade teacher, for teaching me what she taught

Thank you - to the judges at Vocal, for spotting my needle - in their haystack

And the other writers who helped me improve, fixing what I lacked

*

I never thought it would happen, a challenge suited for me

To finally stand here before you -due to my insomnity

Look at that, it’s such a winner, that I am now making up words-

I’m sure tomorrow Merriam will be asking - if they can define what they heard

*

Wait, is that the music?

But, I have more people to thank

This full moon, insomnia bit

Really juiced up my tank

A shepherds hook, really…

Do they still use those things?

Was that mace, Are you kidding?

Man, that really makes my eyes sting

*

Hey! Thank you, Bruce Willis, that damp rag made it all better

And thanks for Die Hard, it sure brings Christmas together

And one more thing, if I may, before they take me away

One of favorite lines was -yippy ki-yay

So here’s to you, dear sweet -Roy Rogers

Are you tucking me in?

I love how you pulled that blanket up under my chin

*

Nighty night - wait a minute

Am I back in my room?

Oh, I see what you did there, you clever man in the moon

Your playing your favorite-seasonal games

With that full moon intensity Making me feel insane

That’s ok, I think I’ll hold on to these particular dreams

And write them all down - here for vocal to read
