Response to the skirmish theme: "Opposite Pairs"
Playing my six string tenor by Oscar Schmidt - great value for money ukes!
(F) If you are chalk then (Gm) I must be cheese
(Bb) You're so hot, I'm closer (C) to a freeze
You (F) plan in detail your (Gm) every move
I'm (Bb) blown round (C) by the (F) breeze
(Bb) Opposites attract, isn't that what people say?
(Dm) Is that words of wisdom or a (C) tired old cliché
(Bb) You're my North and (Am) I'm your south!
To(G)gether we never seem (C) down in the mouth
If (F) you are black, then (Gm) I must be white
It (Bb) doesn't seem to matter in our (C) bed at night
We (F) flow so smoothly (Gm) into a groove
What(Bb)ever this is, (C) it feels (F) right
CHORUS
If (F) you are light then (Gm) I must be dark
(Bb) Is that friction what sets (C) off our spark?
I (F) know that your mother (Gm) would not approve
But (Bb) the hell with that (C) matri(F)arch!
CHORUS

This would be right at home on one of Steeleye Span's early LPs! Great fun.

I'm hooked on chalk/cheese - great fun

Wonderful pairings of opposites make for a sweet and delightful love song that is perfectly delivered! Love the mother in law reference!
@zeekle1998 Feb 2022
A very cool, fun song to listen to. Loved all the opposite pairings you sung about. The uke has a fantastic bouncing, upbeat rhythm.

I also go a kick out of the matriarch rhyme. Pro tip: don't tell mama.
@vivalarayna Feb 2022
This is delightful and the uke is lovely! The matriarch line gave me a good laugh. Nice use of the prompt for a sweet romantic tune.

Delightful ukulele sound, that pairs no nicely with the upbeat, romantic, clever words. I can see you strumming this as you walk behind the object of your affections in the park, resolutely trying to get their attention as they try not to smile!

Upbeat, fun and catchy. I enjoyed listening.
@andrea Feb 2022
This is so fun. I love how you included so many opposites to make this song. it's very clever and witty. Great skirmish!
@sheilerk Feb 2022
Always fun to hear you sing and play. This is a great take on the prompt, and that little reveal at the end is a hoot.
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
A lot of good opposites here painting a picture. Good take on the skirmish!
@unkept Feb 2022
That last verse really caught me off guard and gave me a laugh. Really like your performance and witty lyrics!
