Mortimer the Insomniac Possum

from Outside Voice (Album) by chris hardy world

/

about

I wanted to write a storytelling song, so I chose a possum who has trouble sleeping as the main character. He has an adventure. My dog Jack makes a guest vocal appearance.

lyrics

the sun rose high
a change was occurring
bedtime for nocturnals
but Mortimer was stirring

he bustled about
strolling down the street
not looking for adventure
but unable to get to sleep

ch
he found a whole new world
and it looked so very awesome
what stories would come from the travels
of Mortimer the insomniac possum

searching for some food
in litter left on the ground
he suddenly stopped and heard
a tremendous barking sound

*BORK BORK*

danger was approaching
Mortimer had to decide
whether to stay and fight the beast
or find a good place to hide

br
he turned around and what did he see
but a rather convenient maple tree
so he scampered up as fast as he could
looking down to where the monster stood

the sun went down
and the dog went away
bedtime for canines
and everthing was okay

his friends came around
they heard Mortimer's tale
and when the night was through
his drowsiness finally prevailed

chris hardy world Edgefield, South Carolina

I write songs myself. I record them all myself. I play all the instruments (including real actual drums) myself. I sound like a band yet I am just one little guy. I do everything myself - the only job you have is to listen and enjoy! Isn't that easy?
