The Brownie Song

I walked across the way

After talking with AJ

Feeling rather blue 

About what I was about to do


I need to tell Crooked Smile

I'd be gone for quite awhile

I knew I'd lose the gig

That I'd never make it big


I found out CS was gone

Lotta knew, not for how long

She just went on and on and on


"He has me fillin' in

We are all out of gin

I been doin' nothin'

But scrubbin' muffin

From every nook and cranny

Then someone wanted lemonade

My nerves are completely frayed

I discovered we haven't any.

Even though we should have plenty.

I'm told...Some woman wavin' a gun

Gave it way for free to everyone."


"Gee, I wish there was somethin' I can do.

You know... to help you."


"How about a song or two?

It may help to subdue

The angry ones, 

which are quite a few."


Loren knew she was on borrowed time

But in her heart she had one more rhyme

She quickly made up her mind


Took up her guitar to play

"This is for the men who'd done me wrong

and the one who made it right, my A.J.

I give you... "The Brownie Song."
