I wrote this song just to make people laugh. The idea hit me when I got a nice email from Burr after I asked him a boneheaded question, but he was nice. I joined FAWM to write songs without thinking too much about it. It is just for fun, really, and I can be silly. I finished it today.
FREE FAWMING
By David Snyder
V1
Each February
the people start FAWMING
they say they must write a song
every two days
but the problem with me
is I only know one chord
and the other thing is
I've got nothing to say
CH
But I'm free and I'm free
and I'm free and I'm free fawming
I guess I'll keep singing
oh yeah with nothing to say
V2
There's a guy who's named Burr
and he's a songwriter
who started the FAWM site
for people like me
he said--just write it shorthand
and you're free to sing nothing
but whatever you sing
you must sing it for free
CH
So I'm free and I'm free
and I'm free and I'm free fawming
I guess I'll keep singing
oh yeah with nothing to say
Bridge:
And it's gonna be all right
and it's gonna be
all right
V3
I know there’s still vampires
walking on Mulholland
They hitchhiked from Portland
all the way to LA
But they coming from New York, and Pittsburgh and Detroit
They're looking for fresh blood
who knows if they'll stay

Yaaaas!!! Love the Tom Petty vibe. Made me laugh indeed.
@angelinapowersuit Feb 2022
haha love it! So much fun! I adore Tom Petty so that's a bonus. Aside from the clever lyrics, the instrumental track is pretty kick ass too, Tom would approve I'm sure :-)

You did indeed put a smile on my face! Tom P would be happy to listen to this I think. Thanks for posting and have a lovely FAWM sir.
