Carp's Original Ukulele Contest - Cigar box ukulele

This is for Carp's Original Ukulele Contest on the Ukulele Underground.
There is nothing about this song that is unoriginal other than the chord progression LOL. The church is original and meets in an old warehouse with the ring set up as a permanent fixture, a pro wrestling fed in a church is original, preaching about what we can learn from wrestling is original, and getting up in shorts, t-shirt and dreadlocks, singing a self-composed wreslting song on a self-made cigar box ukulele in a BAD JAMAICAN ACCENT over the sound system DURING YOUR SERMON is beyond original. Respect it.

Wrestling Vocabulary:
learning to "work" is to learn to wrestler
"bump" is well...getting banged around and learning how to do it right
"spots" are moves or series of moves


Lyrics:

Big john stud when I was a boy
Jimmy superfly snuka were my favorite toys
When I was just a kid

Saturday morning on the TV at ten
Dad would shut it off, but Id turn it on again
I just couldnt turn away

Hulk Hogans all I wanted to be
To Leg drop the Macho Man on TV
I want to be a wrestler

Wrestlin takes commitment yo
If you wanna be part of the big big show
You gotta put in the work, and pay your dues

Learn to work and learn to act
Learn to take bump brutha thats a fact
Aint no crying the blues, this is the life you choose

Many years later I got my chance
Late night practice doing the spandex dance
2 different feds, 3x a week

It takes a lot of time and the sacrifice hurts
Sometimes my motivation comes and goes in spurts
It can be hard to push on

Years pass by as I suffer abuse
I remind myself this is what I choose
Its what Ive always wanted

Wrestlin takes commitment yo
If you wanna be part of the big big show
You gotta put in the work, and pay your dues

Learn to work and learn to act
Learn to take bump brutha thats a fact
Aint no crying the blues, this is the life you choose

Its Saturday night once again my dear
Im packin up all my wrestling gear
And heading off to the show

Hanging out in the locker room
finding out who Ill be wrestling soon
Well get together and work out the spots
Another show has come and gone
I take a minute to think of what Ive won
Hurts and some pains and championship belt.suckas

Wrestlin takes commitment yo
If you wanna be part of the big big show
You gotta put in the work, and pay your dues

Learn to work and learn to act
Learn to take bump brutha thats a fact
Aint no crying the blues, this is the life you choose

The moral of the story simple you see
Youve got to work hard to be all you can be
Cuz nothing worthwhile, comes easy

The pursuit of God takes commitment yo
If you wanna play a part in the big big show
You gotta put in the work and pay your dues

You gotta commit in prayer and in study
If you want God to be your big buddy buddy
Aint no crying the blues, this is the life you choose
Aint no crying the blues, this is the life you choose
Be faithful to him, Hes faithful to you

just your basic GCEmD progression...I couldnt tell you about the strum, I just play

[cornfedgroove]

snuka was awesome..but his comeback was lackluster compared to the other guys.

I actually had Big John Stud and Superfly toys when I was a kid. The church was started by my buddy who also started the wrestling fed, and was heavyweight champ...awesome dude. He passed away from cancer and I got stuck being the announcer because I'm rockin' on the mic

creativity comes bubbling to the surface in different ways......kudos........off the wall, but really cool.
