“The Peppermint Pony” is in the stable

February 15, 2009 - 6:33 pm No Comments

Alright…The Peppermint Pony is all finished.

Now, I’ll just have to get in the studio and record the tune, sing the words, and we’ll have the finished song. Thanks to all of you who contributed lyrics and took part with suggestions. It was fun, and I hope you’ll join me on the next tune.

Be sure and check back to see what the next tune will be. Another CD of Kids Music will be coming out in the first few months of this year. And everyone who helps will get credit for lyrics on the CD.

Here’s the finished product…words at least…for:

The Peppermint Pony

I cast my gaze to the bright sky
That slowly fades into the night sky.
Stars like sparkling candy twinkle in my mind’s eye.

My pony’s red with a white stripe.
We’re riding down through a snow pipe.
Snowflakes flicker around me; the weather is just my type.

On the Peppermint Pony…
I can ride beyond the daylight into the twilight.
On the Peppermint Pony…
I can dream about the sweet flight into the safe night…
On the Peppermint Pony.

A lemon star is like a gumdrop.
We take a bite and do a flip-flop.
We find a watermelon mountain and land right on the tip-top

And then the world becomes a sweet dream,
And we can slumber on a moonbeam.
We fall asleep in swirls of chocolate and sweet vanilla ice cream.

On the Peppermint Pony…
I can ride beyond the daylight into the twilight.
On the Peppermint Pony…
I can dream about the sweet flight into the safe night…
On the Peppermint Pony.

Stay tuned,

Kids Music Notes Song Contest Ending Soon

Well…this is the last couple of days for the song contest. A few lines have come in, but they didn’t really fit into the meter of the song. So, if you think you have a good line or two of lyrics, please send them in quickly. “The Peppermint Pony” is going into round-up.

I’ll end this contest on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, so there’s not much time.

If you don’t send lyrics in the next couple of days, I’ll finish up the last couple of lines. Then I can start working on producing the new tune. It’s going on the next CD of kids music, so there’ll be more songs to work on.

If you’ve sent in lyrics, thank you so much for joining in. I hope you’ll stick with me on the next tunes, too. And just to refresh your memory…the words we have, so far, are just below.

Stay tuned,
