I've written the intro and first verse. But I'm not a musician or a singer -- I'm a woman who has closing night of a cabaret show looming in three days, and I wanted to go out with a bang since I'm turning 50 this month and love the fact that no one can tell and love that I got cast in the show when I never expected to.

Anyway, I write words but not music, so I came up with this melody, but don't know where to go from here. I know there should be a bridge, a certain length and form, etc. If someone can help finish the melody structure, I can write words to go with the tune and can then have it memorized in time. I've put it (60 seconds) at

Please let me know what payment you would like, if you are interested. Thank you! Oh, and here are the starting lyrics, in case you want to see them without looking at the youtube first:

I've just now hit the mark
where I've lived half a century
I've taken care of husband children pets and family
I've done all that you've asked of me
Done everything I should
And now I simply ask of you
Can I stop
Being good

I wanna wear a low cut dress and show a little flash of thigh
I wanna cuddle up to a woman as I
Flirt with every guy
I wanna trade in my mom jeans
For some little skirts of plaid
But most of all
I wanna know
Is it too too too too too too late
To be bad
