A parody of Deck the Halls where Orange Cones are the main characters.
a one man show
Hi. My name is Douglas Murphy and I hale from Montreal Quebec Canada.
I have been playing around this 'craft' for a while now and have always enjoyed getting my 'stuff' out there.
Lately I have been playing around with AI generated vocals and melodies. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
Story behind the song
Needed to write about the overuse of orange cones in my neighborhood.
Lyrics
Tis Our Season
[2023/13/07]
Intro:
[A]
Blocked up streets with orange road cones,
everybody moans, moans, moans, moans.
Tis the season of our road cones.
Everybody groans, groans, groans, groans.
Be sure to check the road conditions.
Before you go, before you go, hit the road.
Troll this ancient Quebec mission, and
try to avoid the cones, cones, cones.
Break:
[A]
You'd think by now they'd be finished.
That's a joke. What a joke. Yet, no one laughs.
Construction here is a make-work project.
Don't you know? Now you know. So, don't be daft.
Look ahead. Oh no, a detour.
Turn right here, turn right there, now turn around.
Weren't were heading to the city?
So why are we now homeward-bound?
Break:
[A]
The work slows down for the winter.
That makes sense, real good sense, snow-clearing bites.
Then spring arrives with wet weather,
wasting days, working days, and wasting nights.
Then summer comes in all its splendor.
Let's get it done, get it done, get it done.
But it then stops. OH! I surrender.
Until the fall, 'till the fall. 'Till the fall.
Break:
[A]
So build a deck if you have the space.
You'll be stuck, out of luck this year too.
Shop online, and accept your fate.
Cones are coming. Cones are coming, coming soon.
It seems we keep cone makers working.
You'll find them here, find them there, everywhere.
While construction crews are smirking
Fa La La La La La La.
