Lyrics

Lyrics by Steven Maloney, Performed by Kjerstin Ohnstad - both of the greater Twin Cities Metro

This is the end.
Camping’s just not for this hen.
Lectures from rangers olden,
I’m sick out here and sick of them.

For this is the end,
not sleepin' in this bed-coffin
Congestion and blurred vision,
Time to abort mi-hission.

Stay at Sky Lodge
and we’ll live large.
Compared to this barge,
and this awful weather
Stop at Sky Lodge,
then we can dodge,
the awful hodgepodge
of weird people camping
Please, Sky Lodge.

Sky Lodge is a good start,
for salving Jeannie’s angry heart
Room service might also be smart,

You just call their number,
then you give your name,
then let Nyquil play it’s paaaaaart.

Stay at Sky Lodge
and we’ll live large.
Compared to this barge,
and this awful weather
Stop at Sky Lodge,
then we can dodge,
the awful hodgepodge
of weird people camping
Please, Sky Lodge.

Where you go I go,
What you see I see,
I know I’ll never be free
of your insecurity,
about your ruggedness,
but I’m done with this
I can’t be
in this RV,
so let’s stay….

    Thanks, all! Those sound like they wouldn't be some funny songs, Hampton. As if I would expect anything else from you.

    Two things: 1. Fantastic lyrics, Steven! As good as anything on the site. Plus, you partnered with the one woman Wrecking Crew -- Superlative work, Kj. Second - I think we'll finish our Bond movie concept album before that Abby Road effort comes to be. Kjerstin, are you ready to do "Nobody Does It Better (So where's my Emmy)"? Brad can do "Live and Not Fly"...

    Epic is an overused word, and the right one for this contribution/collaboration. Minnesota in the jingles house today! I guess the show stinks less when you keep it cold.
