Default How do you guys put words to your dummie lyrics?

I seem to be able to come up with stuff on the guitar very quickly. I mean I can just start strumming some chords with a certain strum pattern and I'll start getting inspiration for lyrics. The words them selves don't come to me. It's more like I just starting singing some nonsense words or noises and it sounds good with the music. It's like I know where the words should fall, how many words or syllables there should be and when to make fluctuations in my voice if you know what I mean. I believe this is called a dummie lyric but I'm not sure - but that's what I've been calling it. So I have my dummie lyric but I need to actually put words to it and that's the part I have trouble with. How do you guys put words to your dummie lyrics?

My definition of dummie lyric: A temporary lyric made up of nonsense words and noises to go with the music until you come up with actual words to take its place.

Thanks
