After seeing Joe's songs, I figured this group could use the chords
and lyrics to a song I wrote at the very end of ConChord this year.
It was inspired by a remark made by Robin Baylor about the "wonderful"
food at the hotel restaurant: "We'd be better off at the 'Road Kill Cafe.'
The service was so slow that this song was started after we ordered
and 90% written by the end of dinner.
The chorus changes ever so slightly each time it's sung; hence the
repeated chords.
Anyhow, here it is....
--Lynn
P.S.--If I get the guts up, I may be performing it tonight at the
Freight and Salvage in Berkeley....
