Gosh,
There are so many proverbs about worrying, I didn't know which one to choose and I was worried about whether everyone would like it and then I worried about . . . . . .

WORRY
I worry from the time I get up in the morning
I worry that something will happen without warning
I worry that there's something wrong that I said
I worry and I can't get worry out of my head
I don't know what I'm worrying about
it's something that I do and I worry that you'll shout
at me but I didn't mean to worry you, didn't mean to offend
can you give me another chance after you've counted to ten
I'm a worry, worry, worry, worry, wort
and everyday I issue my worry report
worrying is my life, worrying is what I do
but I hope I don't need to worry about me and you
I worry about things that are on my mind
and I worry about what I might or might not find
I worry all day and I worry all night
I worry about things I did and how to make them right
I worry that I worry and I worry that I won't
I worry about the things I did when someone told me don't
I worry about things that I haven't worried about yet
and I worry I won't remember and that I might forget
I'm a worry, worry, worry, worry, wort
and everyday I issue my worry report
worrying is my life, worrying is what I do
but I hope I don't need to worry about me and you
Worrying makes me crazy worrying makes me mad
worrying makes me wish I hadn't done the things I had
I worry over nothing or anything at all
I worry about whether you might or might not call
I worry about things I shouldn't worry about
I worry that the list of worry things might run out
And I worry that worrying might be the cause of my death
and I worry that this might be my last and final breath
I'm a worry, worry, worry, worry, wort
and everyday I issue my worry report
worrying is my life, worrying is what I do
but I hope I don't need to worry about me and you
Worry, Worry . . . . .

Nice job, It's really good. One critisism, sing more prominently, sounds like your holding back

hi chefie
well there is one thing you don't have to worry about if it is good because it is very very good .
I was a little worried about the amount of times worry appeared in here as I read it . But then I listened to it and was surprised in a pleasant way .
Hilch
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

What a great song - you had me laughing out loud when I listened to it.

Oh, this is fun!
Neil. it sounded like you came up with a good solution to the last line of the chorus when you sang:
I'm a worry, worry, worry, worry, wort
and everyday I issue my worry report
worrying is my life, worrying is what I do
but I hope I needn't worry about me and you
That seemed to parse best with your singing and phrasing. At least of all the permutations you tried! :wink:
It's such a fun song that I'd personally be tempted to change one of the stanzas to something even more obviously tongue-in-cheek, perhaps like:
I worry through the day and I worry all night long
I worry 'bout what you'll say when you hear this worry song
I worry about all the little things that I worry about all the time
and I worry I won't remember how this line is supposed to rhyme
Whatever you do, please keep the last part of the last verse exactly the way it is!
Looking forward to more.
Peace

Hey I like this, the chorus is my favorite part as well. All the things I would change are cause some of the lines seem to be a mouthful, not the writing. Heres what I thought
I'm a worry, worry, worry, worry, wort
and everyday I issue my worry report
worrying's my life its what I do
but I hoped that id never need to worry 'bout you
and there were a few other parts you seemed to have to rush to get through but I really like it nice job!

Neil,
I think youve done a great job here, I especially like the extra "and" 's that youve put in there. I also agree with NHBoy, I think youre holding back too much with your voice. You have a very smooth voice and with a bit more power behind it, more breath, and mouth open a bit wider I reckon it will sound great.
Well done

Hi Chefie
Very cleverly written piece - I really like it - MP3 sounds good too.
Great stuff
