+ Show full styles

[Intro: 8 Bars. The wind howls. A lonely Harmonica plays a melancholic melody. A heavy, galloping Synth-bass fades in: Doom-da-da-doom-da-da. A whip crack sound effect echoes.] [Verse 1] [Vocals: Deep, storytelling tone, sung with rhythm and swagger] Dicky Dap climbed up the stair Quarter past seven in the morning air To give the giraffe a sugar cube treat Standing tall on his four feet "Hey Giraffe," said Dicky Dap "Guess what fell into my lap? Red little boots for the rain and mud!" "It can't be true," said the giant stud "Dicky, Dicky, I’m thunderstruck." [Interlude] [Harmonica Solo: High and wavering, blending into a deep Saxophone growl] [Verse 2] [Drums kick in harder - A heavy "Train Beat" rhythm] [Vocals: Building intensity, more soul] "Oh Giraffe," said Dicky Dap "I’ve got more to tell, listen up chap: I can spell three letters, see? Is that not smart? A B C! I can count and I can draw Figures that you never saw" "Holy smoke," the Giraffe replied "Man, oh man, my eyes are wide." [Chorus / The Request] [Music swells - Symphonic strings mix with the synth bass. Epic feel] "Say Giraffe," said Dicky Dap "Can I bridge the distance gap? Secretly slide down your neck so high? Just for fun, I want to try. Do you think the zoo ground floor Is hard when I come through the door?" [Bridge] [Music strips back to just the Harmonica and a slow drum beat] [Vocals: Low, raspy, almost a whisper] "Step on up," the Giraffe said low... "Step on up and down you go." [Saxophone Solo] [Saxophone Feature: 16 Bars. A majestic, soaring solo that intertwines with the Harmonica. It sounds like a duel between the instruments, riding off into the sunset.] [Outro] [The galloping bass returns for one final ride] [Vocals: Powerful belt] Dicky Dap climbed off the stair With a giant step into the air On the neck of the Giraffe Dicky Dap sat with a laugh [Harmonica: Plays the melody of "Dikkertje Dap" one last time, very slowly] [Vocals: Fading out] With a laugh... Red boots in the rain... Dicky Dap... [Fade to silence with the sound of a synth-eagle screeching]
