WE DON`T WANT TO GO
Bob Clayton, c. 1984
The music`s gone on all night long, and we don`t want to go.
No one`s said there`s no more songs, and we don`t want to go.
Everybody`s had a turn,
We sang like we had time to burn,
We sang until the sun`s return, and we don`t want to go.
We passed around a little wine, and we don`t want to go.
It made the music extra fine, and we don`t want to go.
The new songs sounded extra good,
The old ones like we knew they would.
It`s time to quit, you know we should, but we don`t want to go.
Most of us have to work tomorrow, but we don`t want to go
The weekend`s gone, to our great sorrow, but we don`t want to go.
The rosy dawn`s begun to peep,
We`ve sung away the night so deep,
And, though I think I`d kill for sleep, we don`t want to go.
We sang until the break of day, but we don`t want to go.
It`s time to up and go away, but we don`t want to go.
So if I can just find the key,
And lay that guitar `cross my knee,
The words`ll all come back to me, `cause we don`t want to go.
This is the third or fourth draft of the song. I keep changing
some lines, and haven`t settled on one total version yet. Try
your own ideas and rhymes. It could even be a zipper song, if
you`re fast enough with your mental feet.
The tune derives from Old Macdonald but changes with the
addition of the bridge.
