Comic song with a sort of mock blues style all about writer's block. Written when I was trying to think of something to perform at the New Troubadour Club in Manchester (obviously I performed this song!)
Although I suggest contraltos can sing it as well as countertenors, it should be noted that the voice goes into bass clef when the song goes into the "ooze", so good luck sisters!
The score has been edited and fingered by the guitarist Alessandro Balsimini
The performance is by the composer.

Instrumental based on a song composed just before my umpteenth appearance at the New Troubadour Club at Follies Wine Bar Manchester back in 1991.
Writer's block was threatening to take over, so I wrote about writer's block, in a sort of mock blues style...

The original song - performed by the composer, can be heard on youtube at:

The original words are:
Woke up Sunday mornin' and notes went spinnin' round. (rpt)
What can I sing for the New Troubadours Troubadours?
Woke up wake up woke up wake up.
What can I sing for the New Troubadours?
Oh! I just godda sing the Blues the New Troubadour Blues
'cos there's nothing they like better than the Blues.
I got those New Troubadour Blues.
'cos there's not a single chord these Blues refuse;
not a single note I cannot choose.
Then it was Monday evenin' with no more words in mind;
notes they still kept spinnin'
but no cause could they find.
What can I sing for the New Troubadours?
So, here's a sad Blues with a walkin' bass.
it'll walk all over you,
leavin' muddy footprints
So here's a sad Blues, Blues, Blues
So here is a walkin' bass.
oh! why am I walkin'
with a muddy walkin' bass
waitin' for words to come?
Blues Blues Blues Blues Blues Blues
waitin' for words to come
Oh those sad Blues
I got those New Troubadour Blues.
New Troubadour Blues 'cos there's not a single chord these Blues refuse!
