'Duality Cupcake ("Why"​)​' (Song Fu VI Rd 3)

from The Song Contest Years by Denise Hudson

  • Streaming + Download

    This was a really special tune for me, and there are secret things in it. Little secret ingredients.

    The challenge was 'Write a Song about a Recipe.' This won the third round, and I'm proud of my piano part on it. There's so much that's really complicated about this song.

    There's a video on the YouTubes

    PS. I never sing the "official" lyrics. Make of that what you will. There are SEVERAL versions of this tune.
    In this recording, I say "flask" instead of "dash"

    (unfortunately, this is how I cook!)

lyrics

My week has not been fine
There's no rules for how to write my life
Stick to facts go back to practice
still all this distraction

lies in wait to glaze me make me crazy
although no mistakes are made
so who's to say?

It's morning…
It's nighttime
a cup of do-or-die
dash of hello-goodbye
a tablespoon of
why shouldn't I??

As for him and I
-we're fine
and I think we might be tied up tight enough
… to get by

And you complain
that what I'm hiding under all this
icing wasn't advertised …

well why .. shouldn't I
add the spice
a cup of do or die
dash of hello goodbye
well why not why, why shouldn't I?

Why, shouldn't I
add some spice
a tablespoon of
hello/goodbye
just tell me
why write a recipe
to make something from this thing

Why shouldn't I?
Mixed up like marmalade inside
And I try to hide myself in plain sight …
it's sticky in my mind
complications clinging singing circles close my eyes
It stays in my brain
my duality
