My Sunshine

"Trying to write, when words don’t come and
me pens out of ink
Me eyes are tired and brain fuddled, it wont
let me think
But I will smile through all the pain, I
will make it, I will
I've got me best friend who brings sunshine on me windowsill".
In a dilemma I am cause the deadline’s
getting near
Your last chance the publishers said, oh
dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Rush out to get more paper and ink, I must
do right away
And would you believe me printers packed up, what a silly day.
Now back from shop, persist I will, to finish me song I
must
Me faculties failing I have a brew, keeps me going but only
just
Sweat and
toil, till the
Me song in post and fingers crossed, I’ve beaten that old fox.
That phone call comes the very next day from that publishing
man
You done it he said, brilliant, well done, and you’ve gained a new
fan
That song’s a hit he says, we’ll publish it, you’ll soon be top of the
bill.
Thanks to me best friend, he made it happen, I will make it, I will.
