Be My Valentine        [Part 2 of My Valentine's Day Trilogy]

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

A relyric of the song “Defying Gravity” by Stephen Schwartz, from the Broadway play “Wicked”.

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.

Each year in February,

After the Super Bowl.

All my thoughts turn to girls and such.

It’s way past my control.

How ‘bout  that babe in shipping?

With cool tats of angels wings.

She’ll think I must be tripping

When I smile and sing…

Yo, I want you

To be my valentine.

My love is true

So be my valentine.

Oh, please don’t turn me down!

I know that workplace dating

Has pitfalls, I don’t care.

Cause this job kinda sucks

And chicks like her are truly rare.

Why am I so enamored?

Cause she’s sweet, as red heads go.

When she says yes,

I’ll buy her Chocolates, and a Rose.

And some Chablis.

Just for my Valentine.

She must agree

To be my valentine.

What if she turns me down?!?

Approachable.

Thank God that she’s approachable.

If she wasn’t I’d stay home.

Gaming on my Xbox One.

They say,

I’m a little crazy.

But hey,

Her name is Daisy.

And she seems like so much fun!

That’s why I asked

She’d be my valentine.

This might be fast

But be my valentine.

And she just shot me down!

She wants nothing to do with me!

Who’s the one she wants!?!

Ali.?!?

From I. T.?!?

What's wrong with me?!?!?!?!?

Why am I such a pansy?

Blind by this love I feel?!?

I’m glad my friends can’t hear me.

Get a grip!  This ain’t a major

Deal!

No, she can’t make me jealous.

Because I’m made of stone.

But not so much when

I’m in bed and all alone.

That’s why I need

Her to be my valentine.

She must take heed

And be my valentine.

There’s still a chance she might be mine.

A romantic, I might not be.

But no nerd working in I. T.

Can keep true love from me

And my…

Daisy.

Yeah!

The End

NOTE:  I do not own the lyrics or the music to the song Defying Gravity, but when I hear Stephanie J. Block (videos #1 & #2) singing in the role of the green goth goddess Elphaba, the younger Wicked Witch of the West of the Wizard of OZ fame, I surely do wish I had written it.  When she belts out that 2nd "It's Me!", SJB starts taking the role of Elphaba to it's summit.

A Tarzan call came first.  When I first heard "Defying Gravity", I chuckled to myself thinking that the last note sounded somewhat like Tarzan's trademark yodel. But about a third of the way into that project, I shelved that line of thought in favor of something for February 14, 2015. The original project wasn't finished until 2018, some 3 years later.
