Trials & Tribulations Of Songwriting

Nougat, Peugeot
Nougat, Peugeot
Why don't these words rhyme?
I don't know
Nougat, Peugeot, nougat, Peugeot, nougat, Peugeot

Lemsip, door
Lemsip, door
Why don't these words rhyme?
I'm not quite sure
Lemsip, door, Lemsip, door, Lemsip, door, Lemsip, door

I never know which words to sing
The trials and tribulations of songwriting
I end up just putting in anything
The trials and tribulations of songwriting

Sometimes I get writer's block
Sometimes not
Sometimes I can't get the right amount of syllables in a sentence to scan
Sometimes I can!

Last week I managed to rhyme 'alligator' with 'cow'
I don't know how!

Gangrene, superglue
Gangrene, superglue
Why don't these words rhyme?
I haven't a clue
Gangrene, superglue, gangrene, superglue, gangrene, superglue

Aubergine, hierarchy
Aubergine, hierarchy
Why don't these words rhyme?
Don't ask me!
Aubergine, hierarchy, aubergine, hierarchy, aubergine, hierarchy, aubergine, hierarchy

I never know which words to sing
The trials and tribulations of songwriting
I end up just putting in anything
The trials and tribulations of songwriting

When the inspiration doesn't flow
My self-evaluation is so low

But then I come up with a line like:

Syntactical oboe, pomegranate yo-yo, nautical dildo
Just watch me go!
Liquid charcoal, renaissance tadpole, archaeological fish-bowl
Look out, I'm on a roll!
Pebble-dash highbrow, knitting with Chairman Mao, reductionist snowplough
There's no stopping me now!
Eggpot gorilla face, aardvark plutonium, rancid chipboard leg-warmer...

I never know which words to sing
The trials and tribulations of songwriting
I end up just putting in anything
The trials and tribulations of songwriting
