Nicely done.

I don't tend to say all four syllables of "interesting" unless I'm
deliberately drawing it out, so I'd be tempted to sing

"Interesting" bumpy ride
as
An "int'resting" bumpy ride

Same here, except that I almost always hear it (in my mind) as four
syllables when I'm writing lyrics. Ditto three syllables (rather than
two) for "interest".
