Project Description
I know what you’re thinking. Davey, what on earth is this? You wrote and recorded a single about “Makin’ Bacon”? I know… kinda weird BUT… long story short: I did an off-the-cuff, improv jingle last year at Jus In Bello #Jib8 Supernatural convention. It became an ear-worm. Then a meme. And then it just wouldn’t die. By YOU folks!! So I was dared and challenged to record it. I did. I went totally overboard ;) I wrote a Country / Rock single based on my chorus. Hopefully, in a way you will laugh, sing along and just plain ROCK OUT TO!! It’s Ketch-y. I promise. David Haydn-Jones, Instagram post, May 21 2018
Lyrics
- Another morning
- I’m still in mourning
- An empty space where she once lived
- But tiny footsteps
- Dance down the stairwell
- Reminders of the joy she gives
- I feel so sad
- Yet seldom am I lonely
- With those little grins to greet the day
- Two mouths to feed
- My precious one-and-onlies
- Gotta keep’em smiling with all I say
- So I’m singing…
- Makin’ bacon
- Makin’ makin’ bacon
- Makin’ bacon
- Makin’ makin’ bacon
- Singing…
- I’m makin’ bacon
- Daddy’s makin’ bacon
- Cooking up some love to feed my family
- I sip my coffee
- Wave to the school bus
- Avoid the mess, avoid my pain
- I roll some papers
- Crush those leafy crystals
- Breathe deep
- Inhale
- My sinful lover Mary-Jane
- I get so high
- But never am I happy
- A double shift still looms today
- I gotta work
- But, man, do I feel crappy
- Gotta keep on grinding and still get paid
- So I’m…
- Makin’ bacon
- Gotta make the bacon
- Makin’ bacon
- Makin’ makin’ bacon
- Singing…
- I’m sick of fakin’
- Gotta quit this wake and bakin’
- Gotta make that bacon
- Gotta feed my family
- I think I’m ready
- To turn some pages
- Rewrite this tale… The end’s not done
- Be with a partner
- Cuz it’s been ages
- I’m craving LOVE and some big boy fun
- I could swipe right
- Or try to digitize her
- But robo-dating ain’t for me
- I’ll stick with bars, dance halls, picnics, parties
- Old-school socializing sets me free
- And then…
- Rooms melt
- Eyes meet
- Souls merge
- The clouds beneath your feet
- A new friend
- A TRUE lover
- And in an instant we’re rolling in the covers singing…
- Yeah!
- So here’s the lesson
- Of what I’ve told you
- Just keep the faith
- And trust it’s not too long
- When life is darkest
- We must keep our light on
- With humor, grace, and sometimes
- Singing songs…
- Sing it with me NOW!!
- Makin’ bacon
- Makin’ makin’ bacon
- Makin’ bacon
- Makin’ makin’ bacon
- Yeah!
- (Repeat 4x)
