Cushosaurus by Chitty Chitty Band Band
12/05/19; just a jam like any other jam, minding our own business. We were talking about a pet bunny hanging out in a garage with an injured crow. Then this tune spontaneously combusted out of our fertile little imaginings. I added a bit of lead guitar a few months later, but the rest is stream of unconsciousness. Pre-Covid, but interesting parallels... hmmm

Lyrics
Cushosaurus
Uh oh, look up in the sky
It’s a giant meteor
Bearing down on us dinosaurs
Lights out
Sorry mister Brontosaur
With you giant neck and tail
When the sun goes out
You’re sure to fail
You should grow some feathers
So you can fly
Don’t stay here at ground zero
You’re sure to fry
I’m a Cushosurus
And I have an advantage
I can fly wherever I want to go
Where the sun still shines
I eat little mammals
Little mice and such
But soon they will have me as pets in their garage
With a bunny
Cushosaurus, Cushosaurus
We care for our young
We build nests
Think we’ll go to Africa
But wait, it’s just one continent now
This is the era of the dinosaurs
That meteor is gonna wipe us all out
Cushosaur!
Here it comes……..

With a childhood spent wandering Ohme Gardens, the Gordon Ohme Trio performing, and my mother singing harmony with songs on the radio, well, what chance did I have? A shy kid, I didn’t make a sound until I left home at 17, buying a guitar on my way out. All I wanted to do was write and share songs. None are finished, nor will they be, but they have become my audiobiography. Thanks for listening!
