Original Song - Sonny and the Lifeguard - additional instrumentation

"Sonny and the Lifeguard" again, with additional instrumentation. Liking the bassline I wrote for it." This version will be close to the one on my upcoming album.

The lifeguard unlocks the door, whistlin through his keys
Sunlight hits the town Rec Center, peekin through the trees
Its time to start them big pool pumps, lots of kids comin out today
And Sonnys walkin back from his mornin chocolate milk, ready to play

The lifeguard got an office job, he starts September 6th
Till then, he swings his whistle around and he tosses out diving sticks
Sonny gets faster and faster bringin those things back up
Cause runnin him around is the only way
The lifeguard can get young Sonny to shut up

Cause hell talk all day bout video games
And schoolyard fights between unknown names
His mamas glad hes found a buddy
She also finds it a little funny
That the lifeguard is the only one
But they still have fun

Now the lifeguard works for GuardLife, Ltd, typing out a letter to say
Were sorry, but we have to deny your insurance claim
He didnt recognie the address, it was that of Sonnys mom
And Sonny too, and when she read it she knew
She would have to sell the car and sell the farm

They packed everything in a little U-Haul
And took it to the city, let some bitter nights fall
He usually plays with more high-tech stuff
But any shiny object is oddly enough
To keep young Sonny on the run, and he still has fun

His favorite game was to jump real high
Off the c ouch and crush the head of the bad guy
He played late at night when his mama was out
And that wee hour was just about
When the lifeguards tryin to turn in
He lives below him, and hes jumpin again
Jump Sonny!

Sonnys getting back on track, swimmin just to stay warm
And the lifeguards new, but just as true in dive-stick-tossin form
GuardLife Ltd. Is gettin sued, someone was cookin up the books
And Mama wasnt dreamin when she thought she saw
The new lifeguard givin her that special look

They packed everything in a big U-Haul
And took it to the ocean, sun and surf and all
Sonnys learnin to hang ten
And Mama looks out to the men
That kept her afloat when times got hard
Sonny and the Lifeguard
