‘The Luckiest Man In The World’ — #Lyrics To A Country Music Song

I don’t what’s going on with this one. I’m looking for a concept and it’s not quite there.

The Luckiest Man In The World
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

we’ve been here before
me sleeping in my car
you yelling all night long
throwing your ring
telling me it has a flaw
but in my heart I know I’m
the luckiest man in the world
the luckiest man in the world
the luckiest man in the world

lost my job yet again
staring at ceiling
as my mind is reeling
how do I get out of this spot
when everything seems to be rot
but good for me I’m the
the luckiest man in the world
the luckiest man in the world
the luckiest man in the world

can’t make rent it seems
there go all my dreams
down the drain yet again
but what do I know
maybe it’s just a lie ’cause I’m
the luckiest man in the world
the luckiest man in the world
the luckiest man in the world

‘On Repeat’ — #Lyrics To A Country Music Song

This is about me being obsessed with the #FOTUS theory.

On Repeat
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

this record is skipping
my mind is flipping
thinking of you
wondering where’d you go
now I’m alone
that’s all she wrote

and I’m on repeat
knowing I’m not complete
’cause of the guys with whom
I can’t compete
thought I could make the leap
but I’m on repeat

I’m on repeat
I’m on repeat
don’t call it obsession
I’m just on repeat

the word on the street says
I’m gone I’m beat
no way I can recover
grapevine is all sour
at this late hour

I’m not done yet
at least in my mind
all I can do though is sigh
when the clock strikes again
maybe we’ll still be friends

I’m on repeat
I’m on repeat
don’t call it obsession
I’m just on repeat

[bridge]
make it stop
let’s end it all
just accept my call
if I may have the gall

but it’s not to be
you’re just going to flee
’cause I’ve spooked you
I’m just going to have to accept
feeling gray

I’m on repeat
I’m on repeat
don’t call it obsession
I’m just on repeat

‘Pardon Me’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop Song

This one is about Trump saying he can pardon himself. You’d probably have to soften it a bit to expect to get any airplay.

Pardon Me
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

done many crimes
spoken many lies
but you can’t catch me
in your deep net
because I’m the slickest you’ve seen
or least you can glean

pardon me
think I will
pardon me
pardon me
pardon me

I’ve got absolute power
to pardon myself for my rhymes
not need to chant
I’ll pick the locks
there’s nothing you can
can’t impeach my works
I’m a rock

when the people come to my door
with a mighty roar
they’ll never expect
the power of my ink
or a stray tweet from a bird
it’ll all be over I swear

pardon me
think I will
pardon me
pardon me
pardon me

[bridge]
when this is over
we’ll fly into the sky
even space will be my realm
the moon will stop and gawk
at the power of my word

I’m a king
sitting on a golden throne
only God can judge me
and I say let me free
when all is said and done
I’ll smile and say

pardon me
pardon me
pardon me

‘Hottie’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

I like songs that tell stories, so this tells the true story of an afternoon recently where I was trying to get the attention of a hottie on the patio of a restaurant in Richmond’s Carytown district.

Hottie
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

sun beating down
sunlight all around
drinking my beer
on the patio
what should I see
but you looking at me

sunglasses on
it didn’t take long
before I knew we were singing
singing the same song
don’t get me wrong
you might have been out my league
but you’re a hottie
let me declare

when will I learn
hotties come and go
it’s all just a scam
hottie, hottie, hottie

you looked at me
I looked at you
but what could I do
your friend was in the way
you were too far away
heard you say something stray
about a boyfriend I’m afraid

when will I learn
hotties come and go
it’s all just a scam
hottie, hottie, hottie

[bridge]
in my mind we spend the day
drinking, making friends
you came home with me
a new relationship did begin

in the end
I paid my tab
walked on by
you paused expecting a greeting
but the moment was fleeting
walked off into the heat
having never met the

hottie
hottie
hottie
hottie

‘Never Trend’ — #Lyrics To A Dance Pop Song

I have no beat, but in my imagination this would be a dance pop song where you clearly heard the lyrics.

Never Trend
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

so you want to be famous
you say yes
scream and shout that’s
what it’s all about
want to see your name in lights
people know your name
but that’s a shame ’cause

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

people spend all their lives
fighting for a chance at spotlight
starlight on their face is all they want
right now they cry
they live in anticipation
there wish will come true
but what can you do
’cause you’ll rue the day
you trend I’m afraid

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

[bridge]
the Twitter box
is full of glitter
tweeting away with the deets
but you’ll regret it in thend
when you trend

but don’t listen to me
you’ll love it I bet when
everything comes crashing down
the moment you trend
and you’re on the run

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

‘Alternative Theories’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Ballad

This one is pretty good. Enjoy

Alternative Theories
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t know what I know
’cause you tell me it’s so
you let me down nice
tell me to sit tight
the truth will come out
I’ll know without doubt

we looked into it
and it just ain’t so

alternative theories
alternative theories
alternative theories

now don’t be sad
you’ve just been had
we’re glad you contact us
took you serious we swear
but it’s all in your head

we looked into it
and it just ain’t so

alternative theories
alternative theories
alternative theories

[bridge]
we might have found the truth
but you’ll be in dark to boot
won’t hurt you one bit
we promise we don’t think you’re shit

now just you scoot
go back to the dirt
regret won’t hurt one bit
we’re read all over
you’re just a jerk

‘Fake News’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Ballad

Whatever. Just trying to tell a story in verse.

Fake News
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t get the blues
it’s all over now
the truth is know
but we’ll wrap it up
in fake news

we’re protecting the young
’cause that’s how it’s done
we think you’re kind of dumb
and here’s the rub

fake news
what do you have to lose
with fake news
fake news

it’s all part of the plan
just don’t be sad
there’s a lot we don’t know
but it’s not of your concern
fake news

when you are gone
we talk about your charm
too bad it’s all in good fun
the harm is not about pulling your leg
just because of what’s in your head
fake news

fake news
what do you have to lose
with fake news
fake news

[bridge]
what’s wrong
why are you mad
do you have stars in your eyes
or are the just sighs

there’s not much more to say
much to our dismay
just go away, go away, go away

‘Martha Mitchell’ — #Lyrics To A Punk Song

In my imagination this would have a beat like a Clash song.

Martha Mitchell
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

we’re all telling the truth
he was rich
she was pregnant
end of story
ignore what you know
just move along with a new song
Martha Mitchell

we’re a fool to drool about this
it’s all figured out
without a doubt
stop casing about with your views
we know exactly what you don’t
won’t tell you any facts
don’t you fret

Martha Mitchell
she’s a loon
Martha Mitchell
you know we’re all doomed

now I’ll tell you
that you’re in the best of names
the fame won’t go to your head
’cause it’s all a lie
you’re not allowed even a smile

stop your speculating
we told you the facts
keep it up
we’ll think you’re a lout
with out a doubt

Martha Mitchell
she’s a loon
Martha Mitchell
you know we’re all doomed

[bridge]
there’s going to come a time
when everything spins on a dime
all we’ll let you is sigh

what’s your thing
why do you care I declare
you’re a nobody it’s obvious to see
why are we even talking to thee

‘Beverly Hills’ — #Lyrics To Hard Rock Pop Song

This would be like a Rolling Stones song. But literally no one cares about anything I do, so this is just me venting.

Beverly Hills
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

the sun beats down on the streets
people walk around dancing to a funky beat
lawyers all around
each one named Davidson
they are all independent
not one is orange
they know where it’s at in
Beverly Hills

there are plenty of cheep thrills
in Beverly Hills
they’ll cost you though
a cool mill
in Beverly Hills

when you got problems
even a rich rando
will give you a thrill
over a million ways
he’ll make your day
the lies don’t matter
’cause we’re making America great again
in Beverly Hills

there are plenty of cheep thrills
in Beverly Hills
they’ll cost you though
a cool mill
in Beverly Hills

[bridge]
there’s always a cover
when you’re in need
you can’t flee to your house
maybe bounce about

things are exactly what they seem
if you know what I mean
it’s all the truth
if you get knocked up in
Beverly Hills

‘My Old Gray Lady’ — #Lyrics To A Ballad About The New York Times

Just feel inspired. This would be a slow pop song like “New York I love You, But You’re Bringing Me Down.” No one cares about anything I do, so no harm no foul, right?

My Old Gray Lady
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

no one listen to me
thought my old gray lady was different
for a moment at most
but soon enough I gave up the ghost
my old gray lady
has color at last
she’s no longer mine
even if she gives me some her time

no one listens to me
for a moment I did sing
my old gray lady
she thought I was the best
then just a pest
what she knows she won’t say
just wants me to go away

my old gray lady
she’s here to say
my old gray lady
that you leave with with dismay

no listens to me
what can I say but it’s ok
when we’re ready to bounce
maybe we’ll just feel like louts
then it’s all over don’t you know
’cause life kind of blows

no listens to me
just listen to me wine
but we know everything will be just fine
there’s nothing you can do
if you try you’re just rude

my old gray lady
she’s here to say
my old gray lady
that you leave with with dismay

[bridge]
it’s nothing at all
thought I had the gall
to break the case
but it’s just a disgrace

no listens to me
it’s obvious to thee
that’s the story is true
things can’t get much worse
it’s like it never happened
what are you thinking
go climb a tree
