(I took Rolf's words and added a melody through a few strumming chords.
AN ODE TO SILLY SOLTICE
Lyrics by Rolf Warburton; Music by Alan Cassels. Dec 2017.
Verse 1
Dm
Round and round the ring we go,
C
To mark a special day.
Bb
Declination (don't-cha-know)
A
Means darkness has its say.
Verse 2
Dm
Simon, Kate, and Barton Bou.,
C
("Insane", their sobriquet)
Bb
Planned this madness* (winters too)
A
Four years ago last May.**
CHORUS 1
Sooooo...
C
Bring your soft perineum,
Am
Your courage I inveigh.
F
Club and pride demand we numb
G
Butt-esticle-ginae!
Verse 3
Dm
Solstice is when Tripleshot,
C
En masse comes out to play.
Bb
Beacon Hill, through rain we've fought,
A
A hundred laps of spray.
Verse 4
Dm
Summer weather asks for miles:
C
One-sixty laps display.
Bb
Winter's discount reconciles:
A
It's just one hundred K.***
CHORUS
C
Damn this ring, around we go
Am
For reasons, unbeknown
F
Club and pride demand we numb
G
Butt-est-icle-gin-ae!
BRIDGE
Am
Before we earn our drinks
Dm
At Fantastico in China,
Em
Many miles must be rid
Am
On our buttesticalagina
CHORUS 2(play twice)
Sooooo...
C
Bring your soft perineum,
Am
Your courage I inveigh.
F
Club and pride demand we numb
G
Butt-esticle-ginae!
Am….Am. (fade out…)
