Pyramids
By glennny
SpoilerThe challenge: I did it 2 ways. I have a 4 bar phrase as an intro. It also comes in after the 1st Chorus. I use this same phrase as an outro. The outro has it twice as a 4 bar phrase, then twice as the last 3 bars, then twice as the last 2 bars, then twice as the last bar of that phrase. The bridge/ winner's Circle is the 2nd way I enjoyed the challenge. It's a riff in 11/8 for 8 bars, then it loses the first 2 beats and there's 8 bars of 9/8, same idea for 7/8, 5/8, and finally 3/8

Verse One
I finally got a chance to play the game
Gonna be on TV for 22 minutes of fame
With a couple clues
What can I deduce

Chorus
$20,000 Pyramid
Did I get the “Big 7”?
It seems I did
$20,000 Pyramid
With the help of Billy Crystal
I just might win

Verse Two
Me and Billy are getting so in sync
We’re going to beat this guy, I think
After next commercial
We’re in the Winner’s Circle

Chorus

The Winner’s Circle
Dick Clark: I am obliged to tell you fellas the rules because I haven’t done them in length all week. So bear with me for a moment, and I know you’ve heard them. But! There are six subjects behind your head. Name them in order. Please use only a list. If you get stuck, you can always leave it and come back. We ask you not to use your hands. And repeat once again: GIVE A LIST. Study his face, he talks a lot with his eyes. For $10,000, here’s your first subject. Go!

Billy: Turkey, Dressing Pilgrims

Me: Thanksgiving Things

Billy: Polly want a cracker!

Me: What a parrot says

Billy: yardstick, ruler

Me: things you measure with

Billy: midgets

Me: Things that are short

Billy: ummmm…

Me: small things

Billy: Cows, hay, lofts

Me: Things in a barn

Billy: Rivers, streams

Me: things that flow

Billy: lost children

Me: things that wander

Chorus
