Cop a Plea

Challenge: SAWTOOTH MELODYLiner Notes
Finally got around to this challenge. The sawtooth melody is in the verses. I think this song ended up being about the different feelings when you've made a mistake. Thanks for listening!
Lyrics
Loose lips Sinking ship Falling down Getting up When it’s time Let them in You gotta cop a plea
Hang the jury When they fall Help them answer If you call on them, Don’t you see? Don’t you see? You gotta cop a plea
Every time In the song They always sing The notes are wrong Giving up Is how you win You gotta cop a plea
Hang the jury Hang them all If they answer If they call on you, Don’t you see? Don’t you see? You gotta cop a plea
Turn the key Open up Lock the door They seldom see Finally, you know it all You’ve gotta cop a plea
The gimmick of the octave call and response to highlight the contrasting ideas works well. Some fine picking there.
