Lower The Temp'rature

Heya! This song was inspired by none other than our savvy leader, Owen @RainyDayMan. His recent post "Let's Lower The Temperature" made a lot of mighty good sense. Backing Track by JamTracksChannel, YouTube (sorry, Owen, I know ya'd rather hear the plain, raw version but I couldn't resist having a full-band backup on this one seeing as the repetitive chords matched).

Anyhow, I hope this song does what it set out to do: Lower The Temperature! 😨

LOWER THE TEMP’RATURE

Oooh-ooh-ooh, Oooh-ooh-ooh, here we go now….

[Verse 1]

Well, Ginnie’s breakin’ Johnnie’s balls ‘bout who to vote for

Ain’t a politician worth startin’ a war can’t be won

‘Cuz the promises they make, they make to break

Ain’t one of ‘em ain’t some rich son-of-a gun

 

[Verse 2]

Now, the two of ‘em are gettin’ louder, cussin’ and screamin’

Throwing temper-tantrums like little boys and girls

Hot under the collar, we don’t stand a chance in hell

Why let the Devil steal our corner of the world?

 

[Chorus]

Let’s lower the temp’rature

Grab yourself an ice-cold beer

Yeah, let’s lower the temp’rature

‘Cuz it’s feeling like Hell down here

 

Oooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, Oooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

 

[Verse 3]

And kindness is rare as a two-dollar bill these days

And patience has completely scooted out the door

“Do to others what you would have them do to you”

‘Cuz the Almighty knew this world would be at war

 

[Chorus]

Let’s lower the temp’rature

Grab yourself an ice-cold beer

Yeah, let’s lower the temp’rature

‘Cuz it’s feeling like Hell, like Hell down here

 

Oooh-ooh-ooh, Oooh-ooh-ooh

 

[Chorus]

Let’s lower the temp’rature

Grab yourself an ice-cold beer

Yeah, let’s lower the temp’rature

‘Cuz it’s feeling like, one more time...

 

[Chorus]

Let’s lower the temp’rature

Grab yourself an ice-cold beer

Yeah, let’s lower the temp’rature

‘Cuz it’s feeling like Hell down here..ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh..

  • Fun sing along melody. Great hook! It seems like you were maybe in a bit of a hurry to post this and just left that problematic line in there that doesn't fit: "And kindness is rare as a two-dollar bill these days."

    You could make it a lot easier on the ears without losing any meaning with a little judicious pruning :)

    Now kindness is rare as a two-dollar bill

    And patience has scooted out the door

    “Do to others what you'd have them do to you”

    ‘Cuz the Almighty knew this world would be at war

    @OnlyGavin Not in any hurry. Rewrote the verses this morning pretty much in their entirety. But your suggestion, I'll give it a go as it seems crammed to me as well. The song chugs along; a mouthful. And if I change V3, I'll need to look at all verses. But that's okay.

    Thanks for your helpful suggestion,

    YUP!! Works like a charm, thanks again!! And that's what I'm here for, to learn (mostly)! You are a true Song Doctor (much like Elvis and Rainy)! 😊
