The Lyrics

A typical Wurlitzer 165 band organ roll runs under 30 mins or less and this year the roll I commissioned since 2017 has a total playing time over 33 minutes long. Hopefully next year's will meet the criteria like my 2017, 2018, 2019, & 2020 commissions.
Oh, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
Oh, oh, oh
It's my longest

I've commissioned many rolls before
So far I have made one, two, three, four
So what's for this year?
My choices are oh so queer
That made it turn out as my longest roll

Rolls I thought can just be any length
Then the organ didn't have the strength
This roll's not tracking
I found this to be nerve-wracking
That made it turn out as my longest roll

Oh, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
Oh, oh, oh
It's my longest

It's that roll that begins with Heigh Ho
And it ends with Chopin sweet and low
It is so pretty
And would surely be a pity
That made it turn out as my longest roll

Maybe my next roll might last long
But they will not cut not one single song
Maybe I know how to shorten
And I'll still make rolls for this amazing organ

Who knows what tunes I will pick out next?
Likely Edmund Fitz is in the text
I'll make my choices
I forgot how awesome this is
It will not turn out as my longest roll

I had second thoughts 'bout this tune
i said to myself "Wait till before next June"
Now I know what's OK and what is not
It's appropriate so far, and there's tunes on the spot

I don't care what tunes are such pitys
They'll be super though they're just MIDIs
It's one fun business
I'm sure glad to be in it
I intend to make this not my longest roll

Woah, oh, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
Woah, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
Woah, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
Woah, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
Woah, oh, oh
It's my longest roll
As written in the second bridge of this parody, the original song this parodys "The Longest Time" I originally considered as a tune on my 165 roll for 2022 but soon found out it would make the roll not fit, track improperly etc and not sell well on the market so I replaced it with "Love Potion No. 9". Other tunes on my roll for next year include: The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, The Boxer, Rockin' Robin, and Hit the Road Jack,
