I needed a theme song for a podcast at a friend's site: www.storytellingwithchildren.com so I took one of my favorite guitar licks and dumped the lyrics that I'd used with it, rewriting new words for the old melody.

When I was just a young child, we all would gather 'round
To hear a story told.
Now that I'm a grown-up, I still can be found
Because I'm not too old
To hear a story: I want a story now!

My family all would listen as my Granddad told a tale
About his childhood days,
Or maybe it was Mom, when she would tuck me into bed
There were so many ways
To hear a story: I want a story now!

I want a story... I want a story now. (2x)
Tell me a story... I-- want to hear...

So listen to the storyteller, sit right here up close
And I will take you all
Somewhere that you can see just like a movie in your mind
Imagination calls!
I've got a story... I've got a story now.

I've got a story... I've got a story now. (2x)
I've got a story... you-- come on and hear...
