A song from the past....

Dennis' song lyrics made me think of this post I put on the forum back in April, in response to Michelle's needing insurance coverage when her husband was laid off.........



Hi y'all,

Calling all songwriters!

Michelleric got me thinking in overdrive when she compared her life and dx to a bad Country and Western song  -  here's what I wrote for her to sing.

Anyone else care to add to the song book and come up with another tune or two?   Perhaps a title to inspire someone else to write the lyrices? We can then use them around our Friday night neuro roasts.

Enoy! Lulu

Once the Cobra Kicks In

Been hanging around, searching all over town
For the answers to all of my woes
Having no insurance sure has me down
Got aches and pains from my head to my toes.

REFRAIN
Can’t do nothing now, but sit back and wait
For cobra to raise up before its too late
My needs are qonna’ get  met, but not quite yet
I’m stuck waiting for Cobra to strike.

Doc says I got MS, its just what I dread
There’s pills that will help but they’re just out of reach
Oh there’s  demyelinating lesions  lurking inside my head
Can’t pay for the tests and that  makes me screech.

REFRAIN
Can’t do nothing now, but sit back and wait
For cobra to raise up before it gets late
My needs are qonna’ get  met, but not quite yet
I’m counting the days for the Cobra to strike.

Once the Cobra kicks in, the battle begins
Health insurance will be on my side
I’ll then be changing my frown to a grin
This disease will have nowhere to hide.

REFRAIN
But I can’t do nothing now, but sit back and wait
For cobra to raise up ,  even though I'll start late
I know my needs are qonna’ get  met, but not quite yet
I’m counting the days for the Cobra to strike.

C- feel free to put it to music and sing it all you want.

I did a post last year about Christmas tunes too - that was lots of fun.  

Time to start writing your words down and sharing them with us here.....

hugs back at 'ya

Have you written any more?  This one is great.  My sister and I occasionally make up country songs about MS, but have never written them down.  Please share more if you have more, hugs, Charley.
