Rewriting Lyrics

Every once in a while the desire for artistic output gets overwhelming and my first option is almost always rewriting lyrics for potential Youtube videos. It’s rare that it ever makes it to that last step (Bus Driver Lament being the sole exception I’m willing to link to), but I’ve managed a handful of full rewrites and tons of false starts that puttered out.

One of these is a rewrite of Mariah Carey’s 'Touch My Body' which was transformed into 'Touch My Brownies.' Jeff was even going to film a full high-def video of it, but when I finally sat down to record the lyrics I discovered I couldn’t sing high enough to match the music (surprise surprise). One of these days I might see if I can find someone to re-record on piano a few octaves lower. Anywho, I though I’d go ahead and share the lyrics since I thought they were amusing.

ORIGINALNEW LYRICS
I know that you've been waiting for it
I'm waiting too
In my imagination I'd be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me
Hundred and two
And boy I know I feel the same
My temperature's through the roof

If there's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me
When I do (I do)

If there's a camera up in here
Then I'd best not catch this flick
On YouTube (YouTube)

'Cause if you run your mouth and brag
About this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down

'Cause baby I'm up in my bidness
Like a Wendy interview

But this is private
Between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more

Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.

Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste

Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

Boy you can put me on you
Like a brand new white tee
I'll hug your body tighter
Than my favorite jeans

I want you to caress me
Like a tropical breeze
And float away with you
In the Caribbean Sea

If there's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me
When I do (I do)

If there's a camera up in here
Then I'd best not catch this flick
On YouTube (YouTube)

'Cause if you run your mouth and brag
About this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down

'Cause baby I'm up in my bidness
Like a Wendy interview

But this is private
Between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more

Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.

Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste

Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

I’m a treat you like a teddy bear
You won't wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury
Ba-by just turn to me

You won't want for nothing boy(Nooo)
I will give you plenty joy

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more

Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.

Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste

Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Touch my body...
I know that you've been waiting for it
I'm waiting too
In my imagination I’d be cooking for you
I’ve got the oven preset for
Three hundred and two
And my KitchenAid is ready
For whatever I’ll do.

You’d better bring your appetite
If you gonna let me cook
For you-ou (you-ou)

You’d better bring your appetite
‘Cause my culinary skills are
All “Mon Dieu!” (“Mon Dieu!”)

But if you share my recipe
You won’t be getting anymore
That shit just ain’t cool

Girl I promise you’ll be jonesing
For the things I’ve got in store

So come on over
And give it a try

Touch my brownies
Use them for some S’mores
Have them a la carte
Baby they’re all yours

Touch my brownies
They’ve got chocolate chips
A swirl of caramel
Taste it on your lips

Touch my brownies
Eat them all day long
Don’t try to resist
Temptation is too strong

Touch my brownies
No one has to know
Just keep this info on the down low
And touch my brownies

You won't want for nothing girl
Just take from me
These brownies have no trans fat
And are calorie free

I know you think that’s crazy
I mean how could that be?
But trust me when I say
That this dessert is guilt free

You’d better bring your appetite
If you gonna let me cook
For you-ou (you-ou)

You’d better bring your appetite
‘Cause my culinary skills are
All “Mon Dieu!” (“Mon Dieu!”)

But if you share my recipe
You won’t be getting anymore
That shit just ain’t cool

Girl I promise you’ll be jonesing
For the things I’ve got in store

So come on over
And give it a try

Touch my brownies
It’s no metaphor
These are hot and fresh
Can’t buy ‘em at the store

Touch my brownies
Rub them on your face
Along with tasting good
they exfoliate

Touch my brownies
You know you want to
Just a little bite
It’ll be all right

Touch my brownies
Else they’ll go to waste
Think of the folks starving every place
And touch my brownies

I’m a culinary Steve McQueen
Girl this stuff is high cuisine
You won’t find this anywhere
Brownies beyond compare

You won’t no knife or fork
Just make sure the wine’s uncorked

Touch my brownies
Use them as you will
I don’t really care
Throw em on the grill

Touch my brownies
They will never end
As long as you’re my super
Secret lady friend

Touch my brownies
This is your last chance
If you want a taste
Come on show some haste

Touch my brownies
They can’t be compared
So come on and taste what I’ve prepared
And touch my brownies

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Touch my brownies...
