I hired my violin bow to sing this song for me. I am playing a baritone ukulele I have owned and loved playing for the past 60 years. I recorded this 2 years ago. _______________**____________________
Written in 2001 after a period of searching for a nice bow. Many of the amusing things that happened during my hunt found their way into my song. Lucky I bought that bow because later that summer I met a handsome young gypsy playing his violin on the Hungarian border and when we noticed that his bow was broken I gave him my other one. he was brilliant. This is being played on my computer with a program called Garageband.
I'm A MYSTERY BOW I'm a mystery bow looking for action.
I can give you satisfaction,
But I'm looking for the perfect mate to play
The Scottish Music in the Scottish way.
I LOVE this music because I love to hustle
Down in the cracks with the gristle and the muscle.
I love the lift, I love the drive;
Without it I just can't survive.
I'm a smooth bow when I'm gliding.
I strut my stuff when I'm sliding.
Play with me and I'll tell it so
Everything you ever wanted will show.
Your reputation here is awfully high.
Being who I am I thought I'd check out why.
If one of you fits into my plans,
I'll be giving up my one-night stands.
I'm a sweet bow, a one of a kind,
I'll do the choosing if you don't mind.
Come see me later darling, after the crush,
I'll put you through some paces that will make you blush.
I'm your bow, strong and steady,
Jump like a racehorse when you're ready.
Drive me well and I'll let you hear
Everything that you ever held dear.
In my motion there's an ocean of pleasure.
I've a notion no other can measure up
To the sound you'll draw with me.
It's the highest quality.
I can read your mind, know your heart, h
Handle me well and I'll do my part. ?I'll tell you every thing your thinking and maybe more. ?Play with me and you'll know the score.
I'm your bow, supple and sassy.
Folks who hear me say I'm classy.
Upon my stroke you can depend.
It's at your command from end to end.
I'm a storyteller. I'm a gossip monger
Your emotions feed my hunger
Every little rumor every murmur I've heard,
Passes through me cause I spread the word
I can't keep a secret, I kiss and tell.
I weave them up in a musical spell.
Your slightest pressure and I will show
The sweetest feeling that you’ll ever know
I'll help you reach your highest goal.
I'll be under your control.
I keep the beat! I make the sound!
What would you do without me around?
