The Talkin Song Repair Lyrics

song lyrics  The Talkin Song Repair Blues lyrics The mechanic raised up from under my hood He shook his head and said, "This ain t good Your timin belt s done shrunk one size too small" "Those spark plug wires are a little too long And your main prodsponder s nearly gone Your injector ports are stripped and that ain t all" "The torque converter s runnin low on torque And that water pump s nearly down a quart We caught it all in time, so you re in luck" He said, "I ve got the time and I ve got the parts Just give me the word and I m ready to start I think we can bring her in for eight hundred bucks" But don t be downhearted I can fix it for you, sonny It won t take too long It ll just take money Then he said, "Aren t you that songwriter guy?" And I said, "Yes, I am," he said, "So am I" He sat down and played me a song by the grease rack When he finished singin , he gave me a smile And I closed my eyes and pondered awhile And he said, "What do you think? Now don t hold nothin back" Well, I gave him my most sorrowful look And I said, "This song s got a broken hook And I can order you a new one from Nashville but it won t be cheap" And I know you ve been using a cut-rate thesaurus Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus Now your verse is runnin on verbs that are way too weak But don t be downhearted I can fix it for you, sonny It won t take too long It ll just take money And I said, "Hold on friend now I m not through I hate to be the one to give you this news But your whole melodic structure s done worked itself loose" "It s got so many dotted eighth notes in it I d keep her under fifty beats per minute I mean, that s just me talkin , it s really up to you" You ve got a bad safety problem with That dominant chord with the augmented fifth Just see how dangerously high it raises you up So just go on over and work on my car I ll sit here by the fan and chances are I can straighten this thing out for eig ehh, nine hundred bucks But don t be downhearted I can fix it for you, sonny It won t take too long You guessed it It may be a hit I like it song lyrics
