'Doomsday Prepper Blues' - Greeny original for Coronavirusfest

[Greeny]

A little bit of fun. Me and my uke, with some Thumbjam cajun accordion.

Doomsday Bunker Blues

I'm a doomsday prepper
you used to laugh at me
but you're not laughing now
i've got everything i want to eat

it's hidden down in my bunker
been storing it since '83
I got a record player down there
johnny cash and jerry reed

but i aint got nobody
to share this apocalypse
when we finally emerge from our holes
to feel the air on our face
the last members of the human race

won't one of you ladies
kiss these apoca-lips
i got toilet roll and whisky
maple syrup and gin

it's hidden in my boudoir
would you like a personal tour?
i'm a doomsday prepper
we've got what i was prepping for

but i aint got nobody
to share this apocalypse
when we finally emerge from our holes
to feel the air on our face
the last members of the human race

I'm a doomsday prepper
you used to laugh at me...

I was having the same idea - getting war recipes from my mum now!

We are down to half a cabbage and 3 sticks of celery and we are only on day 8.

Kiss my apoca-lips - genius!

I would have given my last 3 sticks of celery to write that line and maybe the cabbage too and I really like cabbage.

Brilliant Tim !  I bet those doomdsday preppers are living their dream now !

I know Hilary's already commented on it but that line about apoca-lips is a classic.

Brilliant!

I love it.

Totally brilliant Tim. The subject matter and lyrics are both insightful and hilarious. I really like the simple production here and the accordion is a lovely touch. Beautifully played and performed, reminded me of the High Llamas a bit (if you know them).

good one youve hit the nail on the head with this little beauty .......Nice!

This put smile on my face while having my morning coffee. Catchy little tune!

This site has become "alive", since many of members are isolated or working from home

A little humor gem, if Randy Newman comes this way he'll fall in love with this one ...
p.s. I love your bunker (i wont kiss them apoca-lips, though ...)

[Hook]

Love that show, great song. The accordion is a great touch. Maybe some tuba too?
Rock on!

[Johnbee]

Clever.  Interesting use of minimalistic instrumentation.
