"I've Got the Box Turtle Blues". Thomasina Sanger Duets With The Singing Box Turtle Joel Martins. August Zazarella on piano.
(Verse 1)
Joel: I woke up slow beneath the willow tree, Sun was high but it barely noticed me. Tried to cross the driveway by half-past noon, Got run over by a lady hummin' show tunes.
Joel: I've got the box turtle blues, oh yeah, Movin' through life with my house on my back. While the hare's out hustlin', I'm stuck in a snack -- On a dandelion I can't quite chew through. Yeah, I've got those slow-mo, muddy-toe, box turtle blues...
(Verse 2)
Thomasina: My best gal left me for a tortoise in June, He had a six-pack shell and sang her a tune. He said, "Hey baby, I race for fun". Now I just bask and grumble at the sun.
Joel: I ain't got Wi-Fi, I don't move fast, But I've got ancient wisdom and moss on my... past. I could teach you zen if you'd sit a spell, Or just help me roll over -- I'm stuck on my shell.
Joel & Thomasina: I've got the box turtle blues, oh dear, been stranded in a muddle nearly half a year. But I'll keep on trudgin' with my wrinkled views -- Cause wisdom grows slow with the box turtle blues.

I came up with the song title and Copilot wrote the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteI changed the line, "I've got the box turtle blues, oh dear, been stranded in a puddle nearly half a year" to "I've got the box turtle blues, oh dear, been stranded in a muddle nearly half a year".
Very nice. CoPilot is very talented... ;)
