This is a re-do of an earlier work, originally a parody of "The Lonely Goatherd'. I returned to it to add a chorus and a refrain / end.
The audio for this was generated by Suno.com using "peppy electric alternative rock". Thanks to Indiana Shaw for helping me get started on this adventure of setting poems to music!
Listen to poem:
[Verse]
High on a hill sat a lonely goat turd;
He was by himself ‘cuz the goat was through.
Waiting to be eaten by a gross bird
And recycled, turd times two!
[Verse]
Who comes along, but a fair dung beetle,
On sturdy legs that were big and strong.
He called to her, yes, he softly wheedled,
“Baby, won’t you dance along?”
[Chorus]
Hey, ho! Life of a goat turd
Hey, ho! Footloose and free
Hey, ho! Life is so absurd
Won't you dance with me?
[Verse]
Then they danced through the meadow.
Then they rolled down the hill.
He fancied he was her beau
Man, this was such a thrill!
[Verse]
She took him back to her hidey-hidey,
Shaping up to be a dream come true!
When she trimmed him down ‘cuz he was too widey,
finally, he thought to think it through.
[Chorus]
Hey, ho! Life of a goat turd
Hey, ho! Footloose and free
Hey, ho! Life is so absurd
Won't you dance with me?
[Verse]
Now he’s the meal of a fair dung beetle;
Kids came home and had a snack or two.
And he’s kinda wishing he’d been eaten by that eagle;
At least with one bite it would be through!
[Refrain]
Hey, ho, life of a goat turd
Say, hey, do a jig or two
Hey, ho, our little goat turn
He's just passing through
[end]
