Little Ol' Tune Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Mercer

I know a friend of mine 

And his business is writing songs 

It's a kind of a gift and I get a big lift 

From his melodies and diphthongs 

We got to talk him once 

I was curious as could be 

To explain what to do, let him tell it to you 

Just the way it was told to me 

First you write a little ol' tune, real easy 

Not as hard to play as let's say part cheesy 

Real simple chords in the key of see 

A melody you can groove

Next you add some little ol' words on to it 

Try to get some people who'll sing to do it 

Then if they say, "My have you got a hit" 

You act non committal and say, ?Just a little ol' tune" 

Now record your little ol' tune, just hum it 

Could you try to fancy it up? Far from it 

Dub in some top tenor harmony 

Just me, me, me, as you groove

Yes, next you sing a baritone part from way back 

Add a zoom, zoom, bass and then start the playback 

And when they say, "Ma, he's singing forte" 

You act non committal and say, "Just a little ol' tune" 

You act non committal and say, "Just a little, just a little ol' tune"
