about

This track was originally drafted for a 50/90 one-hour "song skirmish" challenge.

I didn't use it at the time. It didn't fit what I was going for, so I improvised another. It's grown on me since then.

lyrics

Would you like to cross that bridge?
Have you seen the troll under it?
The troll just needed a place to live,
so now he lives, yes, under the bridge.

Not all trolls want to eat us up.
But all trolls are really, really yuck.
They are so mean. Mean as can be.
They will say things just to exclaim
how you are wrong for being just you.

They don't like humans, they call them doo-doo.
Don't you like to hang with the trolls?
Those trolls really don't like you.
How do you get rid of a troll
that's living under a bridge?

I think you must, please,
remember that the troll just did what he did.
The only reason the troll is there
is because he was economically driven
to dispair, to dispair,
and he had no choice but to live in there.

All you need to get rid of that troll
is to improve the economy.
Not for the bosses, not for the owners,
but for every, everybody.

That will get rid of that troll.
That troll living under that bridge.
Because if that troll has a good job,
then that troll will have another place to live.
If that troll is busy working,
then that troll can't be busy trolling.
So the way to improve everything
is to make sure that lots of people
have lots of money.
Lots of people and not the one percent.
Everybody should have enough money,
so they don't need to live under bridges
Everybody should have enough money,
So they can live like humans.

about

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
