RECORDING=PERSONAL STUDIO Children/Novelty song. "When you take the Llama out of Kalamazoo, all that's left is a... Kazoo!"
Soulful Beach Groove music following in the footsteps of Van Morrison, Eva Cassidy, Bill Withers, Jack Johnson, Elton John and Sting... with a French twist!
Story behind the song
Based on a true story... NOT!
Someone asked me if I had a song that would provide a little levity--or comic relief--to an otherwise "serious" upcoming concert. The idea was to have a section of the song where the audience could play a kazoo. A few days later, I was asked to provide children's songs for a commercial project.
This is a way to accomplish both goals at the same time ;)
Lyrics
There was a Llama who escaped from the Cleveland Zoo
And came to settle down in Kalamazoo
Being a pack animal, he made a good living
Helping folks around the county with moving and hauling
Became a respected citizen as time went on
And he was proud of his wooly hair, which he liked to grow long
But now he’s been missing for a very long time
And from every corner, people are crying:
Mister Llama, come back to Kalamazoo
We’re simply not the same without you
‘Cause when you take the Llama out of Kalamazoo
The only thing that’s left is a… kazoo, wooh
A kazoo, wooh-ooh, a kazoo
One day, a group of thugs caught him by surprise
He fought them hard and kicked and spit in their eyes
Still they got the better of him and cut off his wool
Which, everybody knows, was definitely uncool
There he was cold and hurt, naked and ashamed
Just couldn’t show himself without his beautiful mane
So he left without a word to his neighbors and friends
Now they’re all afraid they’ll never see him again
Mister Llama, come back to Kalamazoo
Don’t you realize how much we need you
‘Cause when you take the Llama out of Kalamazoo
The only thing that’s left is a… kazoo, wooh
A kazoo, wooh-ooh
A silly kazoo, wooh, an annoying Kazoo, wooh-ooh
Mister Llama, come back to Kalamazoo
We’ll never let anything bad happen to you
We already lost the Checker Cab Company and Gibson Guitars
Now the whole town is wondering where you are
Come back please and we’ll build you a statue
Anything’s better than listening to this…
Crazy kazoo, wooh, this nutty kazoo, wooh-ooh
We’re all sick of hearing this insane kazoo, wooh
Please make it stop, we can’t take anymore of this lunatic kazoo
If this noise keeps up, we’ll be the ones locked up in a zoo
Mister Llama, come back!
