I Think I've Got The Urg

Challenge: MADE-UP WORDSLiner Notes
I like a good challenge now and then and made-up words fits the bill. So far my FAWM songs consist of liking and disliking different kinds of food. I guess it's good that I try my hand at looking at it both ways. Here is my offering for made-up words. #acoustic, #food, #guitar, #challenge #acousticonetake
Lyrics
I Think I’ve Got the Urg F.A.W.M. 2026 ©schnowd
Verse 1
When I’m hankerin for a pizza Or maybe cream chipped beef on toast Could be craving for some ice cream After the Misses’ slow cooked roast When I’m feelin that desire For a salad called Iceberg I really can’t be certain But I think I’ve got the Urg
Verse 2
Sometimes I can remember Granny’s Sunday Chicken dinner With taters and brown gravy I won’t be gettin any thinner She would top it off with apple pie And my love for her would surge And it was at that moment That I knew I had the Urg
Chorus
I know when the Urg hits me I can’t think of nothing else And I’m pretty sure my future Has me loosening my belt There is no cure to save me I’ve already lost the fight So when the Urg comes calling No one else can know my plight.
Verse 3
A favorite snack at bedtime Or a bowl of popcorn late Some chips and salsa maybe Or some cookies on my plate Summer sausage with sliced cheese Now that's not too absurd But once again I’ve fallen For the trap I call the Urg
Chorus
I know when the Urg hits me I can’t think of nothing else And I’m pretty sure my future Has me loosening my belt There is no cure to save me I’ve already lost the fight So when the Urg comes calling No one else can know my plight.

Nice one, seeing "the Urg" written like that makes me think it's like some kind of monster, like an abombinable snowman or some such....a lot of good lines in here!
You got a real theme going this year? maybe time for that miracle weight loss drug? 😀 Cant wait to hear how this would sound. very clever stuff
That is a lyric that is making me hungry too! Got the Urg!
That's fun! Food songs make me hungry because there's always something on the list I haven't eaten in awhile-- ha! Now I've got the Urg.
This is so fun! I am such a sucker for food songs!!! What a great made-up word and song concept! Love it :)
