You Have Called Me By My Name
Bluegrass Comedy. We are known by all kinds of numbers and words in life, but God kow's us by our name.
My "band" is a Macintosh Computer with a sequencer and instrument module (software) and a recording simulator called deck. But it is amazing what can be done with these things!
Story behind the song
Needed something to do during a conference so I started this song. Took two years to finish, but here it is.
Lyrics
To the IRS I'm one Oh One four two five six five three.
And I'm M one six teen four oh nine two at the DMV
Ma Bell knows me as four for seven twenty twenty two
And the guy at the lot where I park my car, well he thinks my name's "Hey You!"
Chorus
But you have called me by my name
Yea you have called me by my name
To some folks I'm a number Lord, or a word or two or just ignored
But you have called me by my name.
To the folks who call round dinner time I'm just another sale.
And I'm resident or occupant on two thirds of my mail.
The janitor at my apartment calls me fourteen B
And he last time I was in the hospital I was the appendectomy. Chorus
A traffic cop once hollered at me, "Keep it movin, bud!"
Once I forgot our anniversary. My name was mud.
And I am sure for certain middle age has now begun.
Cause the younger folks , they all call me pops
And all the old folks call me son.
There's places that I go and they don't even Know I'm there.
But you know me so well, you've even numbered ev'ry hair.
No, I have not acquired earthly fortune and/or fame
But that don't bother me none, Lord, cause you have called me by my name.
Chorus twice.
