🎶Johnny B. Goode 🎶

[Razouski]

Yesterday morning was a hot sticky one and I had a longer run planned. Fortunately I had my 1960s playlist on, and when Johnny B. Goode came on I was off…

Up in sunny Luton, Capability Green,

Highway maintenance were being oh so mean.

They closed off my planned footpath put me in a bad mood

I felt like going home, it wasn’t going good.

The sun was getting hotter, it wasn’t going well,

My running felt quite sluggish I was no gazelle.

☀️☀️☀️

Don’t slow!

Go Razzy go go

Go Razzy go go

Go Razzy go go

Go Razzy go go

Razzy B. Goode.

🏃🏽‍♀️

I’m running down a steep road, it’s an out and back.

And then along the path beside the railway track.

The trees are bending over, there’s some welcome shade.

I settle in a rhythm as my music played.

This song came on my playlist, in my head it stayed,

It helped me with my gremlins on my run today.

🎶

You know

Gremlins can go go

Go Razzy go go

Go Razzy go go

Razzy run good.

🏃🏽‍♀️

I’ve set myself a target, and I hope I can

Keep going to the midway, oh well that’s the plan.

I get to 8 km and then turn round

A young man speeds right passed me, like a swift greyhound.

Maybe someday I will run with feet so light,

But for now I’ll just make sure I’m home all right.

🏃‍♂️

Stay slow

Go Razzy go go

Razzy be good.

🏃🏽‍♀️

And now I’m at the bottom of that big steep road

!

The thought of running up it is a big NO NO!

I’ll run a little further till I reach my goal

,

Then after 15k right up the hill I’ll stroll.

😰😅😅

Go go

Go Razzy go go

With legs full of woe

Go Razzy go

Go get you home

Razzy you’re good.

Thanks for sharing - brought a smile to my face!!!😀

[Razouski in reply to Sandraj39]

It's ages since I've made up a new lyric while I'm running, so I was pleased with this one. I actually sang "Gilly B. Goode" rather than Razzy (I'm a Gill) but didn't like to confuse people.

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Haha that's really good! You're over the nettles incident then? 🙂

[Razouski in reply to Irishprincess]

Thumb/wrist is still in a splint thing, but I was out running three days later determined to conquer my demons, and not going to let a horrible sweat inducing neoprene wrist splint stop me from running. 😂😂😂

[limberlou Graduate10]

Amazing !! When are you releasing your cover version. I’ll look out for it.

[Razouski in reply to limberlou]

I'll let you know. I've probably got an album's worth of covers if I look back at previous rewritten lyrics in my posts. 😂

Yay, go Razzy go 😁. Great lyrics there girl. These runs go in a trice when we have lyrics to write. We need a good lyricist for longer runs. I am favouring Dylan and Rod at the mo

I run to that one a lot! Great innit 😃. I love his stuff. Nadine is a belter. I was running to You never can tell yesterday 🙂 I love the word “coolerator”.

[Razouski in reply to misswobble]

I've only recently had it in my '60's playlist, but loved it for sure. Now I'm working on a new Shrek inspired playlist. I'm sure one of those will get my lyric writing juices flowing.

Brilliant Razzy!! Time to find a recording company. Loved it

[Razouski in reply to Lorijay]

I thought maybe I could ask my choir (The London Symphony Chorus) if they'd be up for doing backing vocals. 😂😂😂

[Hidden]

Oh, that’s brilliant! Havent laughed so much for ages.

[Razouski in reply to Hidden]

Glad to bring you a laugh or two. 😂😂
