UNDER MY OWN STEAM, part #1

I like doing this song with progressive key changes, as in the Lucky Starr versions of the song; or if you like you can keep it simple like Johnny Cash did, and leave it all in the key of C.

Uke-Song: "The BALLAD of RUDY GIULIANI, part #2" (the disappointment of Max Boot)

SONG with UKULELE-Chords

ORIGINAL SONG: The Ballad of Davy Crockett , by Bruns and Blackburn, Walt Disney Studios 1954, anthem of the "Crockett craze". Several versions of the song were prominent on the Top Ten in 1955.

You-tube versions of the song by several performers are available via links on the previous post.  

SATIRE COMPOSED: Dr. G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, June 2018. To return to the corresponding post on "Daily Illustrated Nonsense" (and to see the lyrics without the chord-chart indications) click HERE. 

BACKGROUND INFO: Max Boot's opinion-editorial appeared in our local newspaper on May 8, 2018, under the heading "The long, disappointing fall of Rudy Giuliani". Here are the links to the particular newspaper column, and to the parody lyrics.
Other takes on Giuliani's statements about the Presidents' legal and personal imbroglios are given by Jennifer Rubin HERE, and Amy Sorkin HERE.
