Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee

Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens

Custom kitchen deliveries

We gotta move these refrigerators

We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

You play the guitar on the MTV

A good illustration of metre for newbies.  I think I'll try this one out next time I'm writing in that metre.  It'll move me faster and keep me on track. Thank you TD.
