Mocha commission a song from me for Mariah's birthday.
Here is me springing the song on the unsuspecting Mariah:
Here are the lyrics and chords:
Mocha Says Mariah
by McLir and Mocha Jean Herrup
C Em
You’re Texas academics
and you both were single
F G F Em G6
And how you both
stood out from the Christian mingle
C Em
F
G5
Code name “Buddhist
War Power” on the phone
As you two drew
near, it grew increasingly clear
That both of you
are quite enthusiastically queer
And your Yin-Yang
complimentary styles do flow
REFRAIN
A Amaj7
And
“Mocha,” says Mariah, “I love her so much!”
Em6 D
And
Mocha says, “Mariah, I love her so much!”
Dm Faug F G
The most beautiful, wonderful, in my life.”
So this birthday
song is a tender celebration
Of a Founding
Gender Bender of the Supper Nation
You build
community with food and art
You can do the
hardcore academic demands
You can also
do the crunchy, hippie catch-as-catch-can
Intelligent and
generous of heart
And
“Mocha,” says Mariah, “I love her so much!”
And
Mocha says, “Mariah, I love her so much!
The most beautiful, wonderful, in my life.”
Mocha loves your
stripes, your strapping elongations
And she loves your
scientifically astute fascinations
Wonders of the
universe in store
Your view is
deep, your view is wide
You’re defying
false dichotomies in leisurely stride
And you make each
other happy, what is more
A Amaj7
And
“Mocha,” says Mariah, “I love her so much!”
Em6 D
And
Mocha says, “Mariah, I love her so much!”
A Amaj7
And
“Mocha,” says Mariah, “I love her so much!”
Em6 D Dm6 Fdim A
And
Mocha says, “Mariah, I love her so much!”
