Default Legal Questions: Writing Lyrics Over Instrumentals

So as a present to a special someone, I'm writing some lyrics over an instrumental of a popular song, but I was wondering if this is legal? I'm not going to be selling this track even if I do exhibit it publicly on Myspace, Youtube, etc. but will I run into legal issues even if I explicitly say that i do not claim to have created the instrumental myself?
