The Late Late Show Theme Song

I have fired an email off to CBS about turning the theme song for TV’s Craig Ferguson’s Late Late Show into a real song, since it not only passes the whistle test, but it pains me to hear it end. It practically begs to be fleshed-out into a full song with A, B and possibly C parts and so forth.

Here’s my valiant and well-thought-out attempt at turning the existing lyrics into a “story” surrounding yesterday’s missed opportunity with the possibility of another rendevouz tomorrow, which is the Future Yesterday alluded to in my title and at the end of the chorus.

Future Yesterday
Major portions Copyright 2006 by Nathan Dickson.
The remainder (first and last stanza) is Copyright by somebody, but I have no idea who.

It's hard to stay up
It's been a long, long day
And you got the sandman at your door
But hang on, leave the TV on
And let's do it anyway, it's okay
You can always sleep through work tomorrow
Okay, Hey hey, tomorrow's just your future yesterday

You called me up just to let me know
You'd be right there for the show
Cheeky wee monkey getting all funky
Getting all dressed up ready to go

But your car broke down today
And you were stuck home ready to play
Whipping yourself for missing our date
We had all set for yesterday

So I say yes
It's hard to hold on when you're so far away
And the way you looked before
Wearing a smile and not much more
It is you that I adore
Hey babe, you can see me all the day tomorrow
Okay, hey hey, don't worry about yesterday

You're my frisky little pony
Sitting home all sad and lonely
You can always watch TV
You can see your one and only

I say no, but I nod my head
With a devilish grin instead
If you stay up late you'll see
I'm grinning at sexy things you said

So I say hey
It's hard to stay up
It's been a long, long day
And you got the sandman at your door
But hang on, leave the TV on
And let's do it anyway, it's okay
You can always sleep through work tomorrow
Okay, Hey hey, tomorrow's just your future yesterday

A New Nation

This is an original:

Upon signing the Declaration of Independence, John Hancock turned to the assembled founders and proclaimed, “Gentlemen, Urination!”
