Roger & Jennifer

This song was the second comedy song I ever wrote and was written on the same day as Talk to the Animals. It was created as a song to celebrate the love of Roger Red Hat and Jennifer Yellow Hat (from the books), by referencing the colours of the rainbow.

 

Lyrics

 

Verse 1

 

His name is Roger, he wore the reddest hat in town

And he's off to buy Jennifer a pretty yellow gown

For the prom, where they'll be dancing to their very special song

Which he sang as he hurried along

 

Her name is Jennifer and she's as pretty as can be

And she knows that she and Roger will be the King and Queen to be

At the prom, where they'll be dancing to their very special song

Which she sang as she put on her thong

 

Chorus 1

 

And she sang "We have a love that will never die, you and I"

And she sang "They'll write books about us and songs, sing along"

You know this could never end, 'cause we're the very best of friends

And my rainbow of love is so strong

 

Verse 2

 

The prom is over, it was as dreamy as can be

And Jenny wants to thank Roger for becoming King and Queen

At the prom, where they were dancing to their very special song

Which he sang as he took off her thong

 

But then Jenny says there's a problem she can see

"Your face is normally pinky, is now as red as it can be"

So he said "I have an answer, but my rainbow of love will turn brown"

And he sang as he flipped her around

 

Chorus 2

 

And he sang "We have a love that will never die, you and I"

And he sang: "They'll write books about us and songs, sing along"

You know this could never end, 'cause we're the very best of friends

And my rainbow of love is so strong

 

Verse 3

 

His name was Billy, he wore the bluest hat in town

But he was green with envy for a girl he could not own

He said to poor Roger "I will duel you for her love"

And he hummed as he threw down his glove

 

His name is Roger, he's got the reddest knife in town

He's standing over poor Billy, who he has just struck down

And he's musing that Billy's skin is as blue as his attire

And he hums as he throws him on the fire

 

Chorus 3

 

Hummed

 

Verse 4

 

They were married with Jenny mum to be

Her new hat on, it's as red as it can be

And she's dancing to her favourite song with her very special groom

And she can feel the love in the room

 

Chorus 4 (repeated)

 

We have a love that will never die, you and I

They'll write books about us and songs, sing along

You know this could never end, 'cause we're the very best of friends

And my rainbow of love is so strong
