[waning moon insomnia song workshop with notations -notations for an improvisational multiharmony riffstream...]

Bunny Bee, "Cow Jumping Over the Moon"


background drone and chorus:

moon bee moon
moonbeam moo
moon bee moon
moonbeam moo
moon bee moon
moonbeam moo
moon bee moon
moonbeam moo

x 999  [at least 4 lines of this oft sprinkled throughout the stanzas below - could be a drone (ha) in the background]

the cow who jumped over the moon
was in the field at night, under the moon
watching what do the bees do
after they gather the pollen all (the) day

chorus 1


the cow and the bee(s) and the moon
all know how to fly
    [[(long held on know/how each note) all knoooooow hooooooow to fly]]

[under the moon]

[maybe:  - not sure of placement - or in round 2 sub for stanza x above?]
the buzzing twirling busy busy bee
was in the field at  (or all) night, under the moon
watching what do the [smooth] cows do
after they chew in the field all the day
[what do they do?]


and/or

the swirling swooning space swimming moon
was in the field at night, being the moon
wondering what do the cows do
after they chew in the field all the day
[what do they do?]

[maybe: - not sure of placement - or in round 3 sub in for stanza x's above? - maybe put in after the cow is the bee is the moon?]
the swirling swooning space swimming moon
was in the field at night, being the moon
wondering what do the (buzzing) bees do
after they gather the pollen all the day
[what do they do?]


the cow is the bee is the moon
all know how to fly
[under the moon -- or -- what do they do]

cows become bees become moon
under the night time sky
[under the moon]
[that's what they do]

sometimes bees need a rest
and the cows know (they) how to rest  [variant: cows really know how to rest]
[under the moon]
chorus
cows like sipping from the flowers
in the lithe [little] [buzzing]bodies of bees
[under the moon]
[that's what they do]
[under the moon]
chorus


variant:

sometimes the moon needs a rest
and the cows know (they) really know how to rest
[under the moon]

chorus
the moon she likes sipping from the flowers
in the lithe, little buzzing bodies of bees
[under the moon]

[that's what they do]
[under the moon]

Huyssen, Campbell & Garbett, "Bumble Bee Cow"


cows need to dance
cows need to dance [or - cows need a chance]
[that's what they do]

[that's what they do]

and/or
cows really do like to dance
cows really do like to dance  [or cows they really do like a dance]

the moon she really knows how to dance

  2. Wonderful pic!

    Look at the flowers below the sign...mayhaps the cow jumps over the moon as a different way to pollinate the flowers? Those moonbeams might be critical for the flower-fruit-seed cycle as well... : )
