(To the tune of Everything's Coming Up Roses featured in Gypsy)
Lyrics by Judy Freed
It looked swell. It looked great.
Didn't have all that much on my plate.
So I thought "What the hey"!
Maybe I'll be a coming up Loser.
Inked a word. Inked a song.
Found my people with whom I belong.
Pat agreed. Heard her say:
"Judy Freed is a coming up Loser."
Just beginning - Every magnet a thrill!
Head was spinning. Somehow occasionally winning!
Rising up with the guys.
Saw the stats- a weekly surprise.
Yes, I still have self-doubt.
But I will stick it out.
'Cause laughter's what is gonna get us through..
And now I am a coming up Loser so thankful for you.
Started shyly. Shared a song about lube.
Sang it dryly. The Empress regarded it highly.
Then I had no more fear.
Sent an entry about Yoni Beer.
Like some steam now and then,
With a theme GYN.
So glad to have a place for working blue.
And now everything's coming up horses and parodies.
Everything's coming up air quotes and anagrams.
Everything's coming up headlines and limericks.
I am a coming up Loser inspired by you.
