Merry Christmas Veggie Cowboy (Tunestorm)

Assignment: write a song about a holiday using free and open source software. Test driving my home-brewn computer program "bluegrass" for generating pattern-based music.
The home-brewn lyrics are somewhat on the edge of widely acceptable. Oh well.

For years I yearned for love love love,
a girl was what I need.
I dreamed for her to live with me,
I needed her with speed.

I built myself this snowgirl,
most gorgeous girl on earth,
't was on a Christmas morning,
that I arranged her birth.

[Yippee ya yo, yippee ya yay, this is the cowboy way.
Yippee ya yay, yippee ya yo, let's sing of ho ho ho]

I gave her quite a carrot,
some leeks to lace her shirt,
to underline her deep dark eyes,
I squirted in some dirt.

[Yippee ya yo, yippee ya yay, this is the cowboy way.
Yippee ya yay, yippee ya yo, let's sing of ho ho ho]

But as she stood outside alone,
I felt I missed her so,
I want her under my mistletoe,
and do the ho ho ho.

The Christmas spirit came to me,
and I made her come in,
She felt so cold, yet made me hot,
It felt like a sin,
but it was a win win.

Disaster struck when overnight,
the girl had disappeared,
she silently had left my bed,
and left it wet wet wet.

Yet never everything is lost,
and also in this case,
She left her carrot in my bed,
Together with the lace.

That moment when I realized,
the girl wasn't my thing.
I used the carrot otherwise,
and boy did joy it bring.

So here's a piece of good advice,
whenever you feel low,
go toss yourself a salad bar,
with carrot, leeks and snow.

[Yippee ya yo, yippee ya yay, this is the cowboy way.
Yippee ya yay, yippee ya yo, let's feel like wow wow wow]
