Cabin Rooftop Dance
Our son Matt, his dog Sydney, & I were camping just outside the middle of nowhere. I brought a guitar and wrote two songs while they were out hiking one day. There was something crawling on the roof, so this was the song. (The other one is still incomplete.)
It is presented here with Band in a Box, Reaper, Cakewalk, and Ozone 10. Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitar, Janice Merritt of Jamice and Bud added the high harmony, and I added bass, vocals. and a short guitar piece in the Bridge.

Cabin Rooftop Dance
There's something crawling on the cabin rooftop. I hear it walking on the tiles.
Since late at night it's been clawing on it nonstop, and got us all so riled.
We heard it creeping when the full moon shone brightly, and wind was howling through.
The owners called and said it showed up nightly. We asked them what to do. They said,
"Watch and learn the cabin rooftop and the critter in a trance.
Watch and learn the Cabin Rooftop Dance."
Then we heard it crawling down the siding and knocking on the door.
We all looked scared, and no one gave up hiding from certain blood and gore.
Suddenly it burst into the room and gazed in all our eyes.
We all froze still and still it seemed so friendly and made us realize. He said,
"I learned this on the cabin rooftop while up there killing ants.
Watch and learn the Cabin Rooftop Dance.
Every little movement has a message all its own. The ants don't stand a chance.
Here is something special that you can take home. The Cabin Rooftop Dance."
Watch and learn the cabin rooftop and the critter in a trance.
Watch and learn the Cabin Rooftop Dance.
Slide and stomp across the shingles, and do away with ants.
Watch and learn the Cabin Rooftop Dance.
