Story Behind the Song
My favorite part of songwriting is making rhymes, especially silly ones. I also love puns and poetry, so "Longfellow" was a way to stitch all that together into a song, with a real stinky-pun for the hook.
Lyrics
Wish I was a poet, speaking words in rhyme,
Poetry means more to me than them words of other kinds.
If I was a poet, I'd quip a fancy phrase.
Speak to thee of things to be and them far off sunny days.
But I ain't no poet, not in a strict sense,
I am a poet, in a way, I can show it,
If you stretch me out from my head to my toe,
And if you measured me you would know,
I am a Longfellow, oh oh, oh no, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh,
I am a Longfellow, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, (fading)
