Created for web3 comedy's offline event in Kuala Lumpur.
[Instrumental Intro: Gentle acoustic guitar with soft, brushed drums]
[Verse 1: Slow-paced strumming, light piano chords]
I thought a banana would do the trick,
To thank my boss, simple and quick.
But he smiled and said with glee,
“No thanks! Bring a kangaroo to me!”
[Chorus: Smooth bass, soft backing vocals]
Bananas are easy, kangaroos are tough,
I thought catching one wouldn’t be so rough.
Walking through the woods, scratch and bruise,
I faced the kangaroo... and I lose.
Oh, I lose.
[Verse 2: Soft finger-picking guitar, mellow piano notes]
I went next door to the big ol' trees,
Said, "Come here, roo! Pretty please?"
But that marsupial had other plans,
Kicked me so hard, I forgot my hands!
[Chorus: Gentle rhythm with soft shaker]
Bananas are easy, kangaroos are tough,
I thought catching one wouldn’t be so rough.
Walking through the woods, scratch and bruise,
I faced the kangaroo... and I lose.
Oh, I lose.
[Bridge: Quiet, introspective acoustic solo, gentle backing harmonies]
Boss, why’d you make it so hard on me?
Should've stuck with the fruit from a tree.
No joeys today, just a broken shoe,
And a bruised-up ego—thank you, roo.
[Guitar Solo: Soft blues licks, mellow harmonica fills]
[Chorus: Full, warm sound, smooth harmonies]
Bananas are easy, kangaroos are tough,
I thought catching one wouldn’t be so rough.
Walking through the woods, scratch and bruise,
I faced the kangaroo... and I lose.
Oh, I lose.
[Outro: Slow fade-out, soft piano with gentle strumming]
Next time I'll stick with a banana gift,
No jumping roos, no bruised ribs.
Boss, you’re the king, here’s my clue—
No more animals from the zoo.
