(Verse I)
Who gets the honky tonk blues?
Folks in honky tonks do.
They lay out late at night.
They get into fights!
They do
(Chorus Refrain)
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
(Verse II)
Who gets the honky tonk blues?
Folks in honky tonks do.
They feel it ain't goin' right.
Their dreams are out of sight.
They do
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
(Bridge)
They wake up in the mornin',
with the same pain they had last night.
It echoes like a warning:
Don't do the same thing tonight!
(Verse III)
Who gets the honky tonk blues?
Folks in honky tonks do.
They lay out late at night.
They get into fights!
They do
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
(Coda)
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
(I think it takes about one minute fifteen seconds to play. I wonder if short Songs like that could find a place on terrestrial radio. Back when the world was young Songs often came in at two minutes or a little less or more
I sang ad lib, "Who gets the honky tonk blues?" and asking that question was inspired to see where the Lyric/Melody might go. Rather than the usual "I've got the..." blues Line, the question seemed to have a different appeal, different approach.)

"Come Back Radio Man" (Creative Commons issue, by Gary E. Andrews, December 24, 2020. Lyric only. No audio link.)
"Come Back Radio Man!"
Back when the world was young,
we had magic radio.
Every song that was sung,
wasn't great. We loved it though.
The Beach Boys took us to the beach.
James Brown stirred our Soul.
The Beatles gave us the beat!
Chuck Berry's Rock and Roll!
DJ's had lessons to teach.
Decorating life was their goal!
(CHORUS)
Come Back Radio Man!
Come back and show us how!
Come Back Radio Man!
We need you and we need you now!
Come Back Radio Man!
Back when the world was new,
we had magic radio!
B. B. taught us the Blues.
Wolfman Jack made a show.
Motown swung the pendulum.
The East Coast came to play.
Then the British Invasion,
taught us a whole new way.
DJ's put us in reach,
of a dream of a brand new day!
DJ's put us in reach,
of a dream of a brand new day!
Come Back Radio Man!
Come back and show us how!
Come Back Radio Man!
We need you and we need you now!
Come Back Radio Man!
(Brief Instrumental Bridge) (Jam longer in live play)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Coda)
Come Back Radio Man!
Come Back Radio Man!
Come Back Radio Man!

A nice lyric, Gary. Catchy hook and it has a nice flow. Songs with a list of evocative items like this are fun for those who remember them, even if they don't mean so much to those young whippersnappers. 🙂 Do you have a tune for it?
Growing up on the other side of the pond, our experience of radio DJs was different. In the late 60s, the BBC took control of pretty much all the broadcast radio spectrum. Even the pirate radio stations operating from ships just inside international waters closed down and we got BBC Radio One, complete with DJs apparently selected for their unctuous personalities, inane witless banter and constant harping on about the work they did for charity. They even had a kind of accent and tone of voice that was enough to make you vomit. These two guys absolutely nailed it with their parody. If anything, the real thing was even worse.

Don't be a crazy baby! I need ya' sane!

Jump off your horse and ride, Like ya' used to do!
Show me your ounce of pride! Don't show me, The Cra-zy You!
Don't talk about politics! Religion too!
Don't take me out in the sticks! Think, "Right here will do!"
Stand here off to the side! Let the crazy through!
Show me your peace of mind! Don't show me, The Cra-zy You!
Don't be the one in the street, everybody's pointing to,
because of what's on your feet!
Where the hell'd you get those shoes?

Don't show me, The Cra-zy You.

Somewhere, someone is calling.
There's no--body there.
Somewhere, a star if falling,
No--body cares.
Somehow, something that's missing,
finds, its way there.
Somehow, something I'm wishing,
knows, I don't dare.
Somewhere, someone who's calling,
begins, to get scared.
Somewhere, someone who's stalling,
finds courage to spare!
Somewhere, someone is calling.
Somewhere. Somewhere.
Somewhere. Somewhere.

copyright February 27, 2021 by Gary E. Andrews.
It's been too long.
It's never too late,
for the sing-ing of our song.
It's been too much,
wanting your touch.
I know it ca--n't be wrong.
When I get back, if I get back,
when I come in, off the road,
girl you know I'll, wanna see you,
and the Moon-- Over San Francisco.
You and the Moon, Over San Francisco.
In the moonlight,
late at midnight,
when the Moon has, gone solo,
you wait for me,
you watch for me,
from there by, your window.
When I get back, if I get back,
when I come in, off the road,
girl you know I'll, wanna see you,
and the Moon-- Over San Francisco.
You and the Moon, Over San Francisco.

Nobody warned me, about your kiss.
Nobody told me, how much I would miss,
the look in your eye, the feel of your lips,
After The Taste Of Love!
My buddy told me you could set me on fire.
Nobody warned me love could be a liar.
Nobody knows the depths of desire,
After The Taste Of Love!
Taste! I want a taste of your love!
Taste! I want a taste of your love!
Taste! I want a taste of your love!
More of the same's all I can think of,
After The Taste Of Love!
I know you tol' me not to get this started.
You said we could both end up broken-hearted!
I felt the pain in the moment we parted,
After The Taste Of Love!
We got entangled in your twenty questions!
I fell like a fool who never learns his lesson.
Kicked out of school, I came back messin',
After The Taste Of Love!
Taste! I want a taste of your love!
Taste! I want a taste of your love!
Taste! I want a taste of your love!
More of the same's all I can think of,
After The Taste Of Love!
I kissed the Gypsy twice before I paid her!
She said, "You come on like a pirate raider!
I said, "Baby can't we talk about this later,
After The Taste Of Love!
After The Taste Of Love!
After The Taste Of Love!
I had a dream.
I'm walking into a long room carrying my guitar in a case.
A drummer is set up in the back, beyond a circle of couches and armchairs.
A drummer is set up in the back, beyond a circle of couches and armchairs.
A guitar player is laid back on one of the couches, on the left, guitar in hand.
The drummer is sayin', "Well play somethin'!"
I sit down with my back to the drummer, take out my guitar, start playin' E7 and A7, singing, "Taste! I want a taste of love! Taste! I want a taste of love!"
I woke up, and played the Chorus and wrote the rest to go with it.

One of those lyrics that generates a tune in your head as you sing it. I like the AAAB structure - it gives momentum to a song. Memorable hook which is worth hitting as many times as you do. I look forward to hearing this.

She's A Hanger On.
I let her hang around.
She's as good as gone.
I know she's never let me down.
She's a Hanger On.
I like having her around.
She's a white gold girl.
She got silver everywhere.
She's a righteous girl.
It's not as good when she's not there.
She's A Hanger On.
She's a little worse for wear.
She's that kind of girl,
like you hear about in songs,
from a different world.
Somehow tonight she got it wrong.
She's A Hanger On.
She's right where she belongs.
She's A Hanger On.
I let her hang around.
She's as good as gone.
I know she's never let me down.
She's a Hanger On.
I like having her around.
She's A Hanger On.
I let her hang around.

You've never had a heartbreak before.
That's why this one hurts so bad.
But you're gonna' get through this,
And you're gonna' be so glad,
That you can love so deeply.
That's why it hurts this time.
That you can love so deeply,
Means you're gonna' Love Better Next Time.
You never had your heart broken before.
Yeah, But broken hearts do mend.
It's just gonna' take some time,
You'll see in the end,
That you can love so deeply,
Even though you're hurtin' inside.
That you can love so deeply,
Means you're gonna Love Better Next Time.
If you were so shallow,
That it meant nothing, To touch, To kiss,
You could walk away from this laughing,
But then you, Might miss
That you can love somebody,
And that love can be so fine.
That you can love somebody,
Means you're gonna Love Better Next Time.
You never had a heartache before,
Felt pain so sublime.
You're gonna' get over this,
You're gonna' be just fine.
You're gonna' love somebody,
Even though you got hurt this time.
That you can love so deeply,
Means you're gonna Love Better Next Time.
That you can love so deeply,
Means you're gonna Love Better Next Time.

(Verse I)
Julie wakes up any morning
with trouble on her mind.
Her dreams are no relief.
She worries through the night.
She wakes up and she gets up.
She pulls on her shoes.
Julie Gets The Blues.
(Verse II)
Julie gets out on the road.
Gotta be there by nine.
At the County Courthouse,
they're makin' up their minds.
He's her man. They got their man.
They said so on the news.
Julie Gets The Blues.
(Instrumental Bridge)
(Verse III)
Her Momma tried to warn her
off that silly stupid boy!
"He'll only break your heart!"
To Julie it was just noise.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
You play to win or lose.
Julie Gets The Blues.
(Lyrical Bridge)
Somewhere in Ohio,
Julie moved away!
She took her young man with her,
to love another day!
