And the Grammy goes to...

Since Donna and I were the only ones who played my game from last week (you know, rewrite the lyrics to Firework by Katy Perry to tell the story of a frustrated writer trying to finish something), I know you're all dying to see the final product. After all, we could become the next Lennon/McCartney and you would be witnesses to our first triumph. So, without further adieu, here it is -

"Finished Work"

Do you ever feel like a total sham
Don't know what to write
Throw in the towel again

Do you ever feel, feel you cannot win
It will not get done
Don't pick up the pen

Do you ever feel you should just give up sleep
It's the only way
you'll beat the clock and be complete

Do you know that there's a shot for you
No reason to be blue

You just gotta sit and write
and fight the doubt
Take back your chance
Make your keyboard dance.

Cause you crave a finished work
Stand up, show 'em what your worth
Make the world ooh, ah, ah
as your books fly of the shelf-elf-elf

Babe you've gotta finished work
Let your words change the earth
Can't you see them ooh, ah, ah
As you build a plot that ro-o-ocks

You don't have to feel like a wannabe
You've got talent too, a contract waits for you
If you never try, it will never be
After reje-e-ctions, there is still hope

Maybe you're your own worst enemy
So stop it with the can't and find a way to live your dream
Even if it's a no, you've reached your goal
And then you never know

You just gotta sit and write
and fight the doubt
Take back your chance
Make your keyboard dance.

Cause you crave a finished work
Stand up, show 'em what your worth
Make the world ooh, ah, ah
as your books fly of the shelf-elf-elf

Babe you've gotta finished work
Let your words change the earth
Can't you see them ooh, ah, ah
As you build a plot that ro-o-ocks

Boom, boom, boom
So much better than doom, doom, doom
It's always been a do, do, do
And now it's time to see it through-oo-oo

Cause babe you've gotta finished work
Let your words change the earth
Can't you see them ooh, ah, ah
As you build a plot that ro-o-ocks

Babe you've gotta finished work
Let your words change the earth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em wanting "more, more, more!"

Boom, boom, boom
So much better than doom, doom, doom
Boom, boom, boom
So much better than doom, doom, doom
