843 SONGS AND SHE STILL HASN'T FINISHED

# 843 SONGS AND SHE STILL HASN'T FINISHED **Jon & Julie** [Intro: Bouncy acoustic guitar, handclaps, playful piano] [Male Solo, spoken, dryly] "Julie, have you written another song?" [Female Solo, spoken, delighted] "Only three since breakfast!" [Male Solo, spoken] "Of course you have." [Verse 1: Male Solo] She wrote a song about a moose, A mermaid swimming on the loose, A Greek night out, a hotel stay, And something strange she saw today. There's music in the kitchen sink, In every little thing I think, I only asked her for some tea, She wrote a whole new melody! [Female Solo, spoken] "I don't even like tea!" [Male Solo, spoken] "Neither does the kettle, apparently!" [Pre-Chorus: Female Solo] Well, darling, life's a cabaret, There's something new to sing each day, And if you give me half a chance, I'll make the furniture get up and dance! [Chorus: Duet] Eight hundred forty-three, And she's still writing melodies! About the moon, the birds, the bees, And everything from A to Z! She sings about the strangest things, The joy that ordinary brings, And every time I think she's through, She says, "I've just thought up another two!" [Post-Chorus: Female Solo] La-da-da, another two! [Male Solo] Lord, what am I supposed to do? [Duet] Eight hundred forty-three, And she's still writing melodies! [Verse 2: Male Solo] She's got a song about a job, A dancing girl, a lovesick slob, A camera she would like to buy, And creatures swimming through the sky. She'll sing about a storm at sea, Then turn around and sing of me, I never know what comes along, Or when I'll end up in a song! [Female Solo, spoken] "You're already in this one!" [Male Solo, spoken] "I was afraid of that." [Pre-Chorus 2: Female Solo] I've got a tune for every day, For all the things we do and say, And if you make that funny face, I'll write a chorus just in case! [Chorus: Duet] Eight hundred forty-three, And she's still writing melodies! About the moon, the birds, the bees, And everything from A to Z! She sings about the strangest things, The joy that ordinary brings, And every time I think she's through, She says, "I've just thought up another two!" [Instrumental Break: Honky-tonk piano, twangy guitar, playful bass] [Bridge: Male Solo, softer and sincere] But when the house is quiet at night, And all the screens have lost their light, She takes my hand and smiles at me, And hums a little melody. [Female Solo, tender] Some songs are funny, some are sad, Some hold the best days that we've had, But there's one tune I love to play, The one that brought you here to stay. [Male Solo] And if the world should lose its song... [Female Solo] I'll sing for you the whole night long. [Duet, intimate] Of all the tunes that we could choose, You're the one I couldn't bear to lose. [Final Chorus: Duet, full band, joyful] Eight hundred forty-three, And she's still writing melodies! About the moon, the birds, the bees, And everything from A to Z! She's got a heart that overflows, With little songs nobody knows, And every time I think she's through, She's got a brand-new one for two! [Female Solo] And number eight-four-four, my dear... [Male Solo] I had a feeling that was near! [Duet] Eight hundred forty-three, And she's still writing melodies! [Outro: Band drops to piano and handclaps] [Male Solo, spoken] "Julie, promise me something." [Female Solo, spoken] "What's that, darling?" [Male Solo, spoken] "Don't write a song about this conversation." [Female Solo, spoken, laughing] "Too late!" [Duet, sung] Eight hundred forty-four! [Final guitar strum, piano flourish, laughter]
