New from the TTABlog Songbook: "STEALTH"

After I posted my "T-T-A-B" song lyrics, someone suggested that I write a song about Leo Stoller, frequent provider of TTABlog content. But I was having trouble coming up with a tune that I could highjack, mainly because the phrase "Leo Stoller" is not very mellisonant. I decided instead to focus on the word STEALTH, and that's when the Paul McCartney/Wings song "Jet" popped into my head. Now you've really got to concentrate on the melody, and you've got to hear those power chords in your head. So here goes:


STEALTH

STEALTH!
STEALTH!
STEALTH! When I hear you I think of a wedge-winged aircraft.
Or maybe some grizzly guy skulking about in the dark.
Oh, STEALTH! I never even
contemplated
that you were a mark.

STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo
STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo

STEALTH! I had never encountered this Leo Stoller.
He claims he's the owner of every word within sight.
But STEALTH! I thought you had to
use a trademark
to own any rights.

STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo
STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo

Rent-a-mark, no thanks I'’ve got my own.
Rent-a-mark, no thanks I'’ll use my own,
Rent-a-mark.... Take-a-hike.

STEALTH!

STEALTH! I thought you had to
use a trademark
to own any rights.

STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo
STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo

Rent-a-mark, no thanks I'’ve got my own.
Rent-a-mark, no thanks I'’ll use my own,
Rent-a-mark.... Take-a-hike.

STEALTH! You can fool a few people with b.s. and bluster.
But most of us know that it's best just to pay you no mind.
And STEALTH! Looks like the golden
days are over
for lying in STEALTH.

STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo
STEALTH! Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo Woo-ooo-ooo

Oh STEALTH! Looks like the golden
days are over
for lying in STEALTH.

STEALTH!

What's next for the songbook? I'm open to suggestions.
