Trekkies indeed.
And he was right to do so.
You’re still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
And I don’t forget about you
When you’re gone
If there’s a man who is down and needs a helpin’ hand
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through
Seems to me we got to solve it individually
And I’ll do unto you what you do to me
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
Eventually, it’ll all be good.
In any case,
I went back to the house, I was feeling so blue
(Great big idol with the golden head)
I said, tell me idol, what am I gonna do?
(Great big idol with the golden head)
And we would be right to do so.
Her body was mangled and all cast around
Blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found.
You’ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe
You’ve got to give of yourself ‘fore you’re worthy to receive
And I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar
Even the best of the best from the glory days didn’t bat 100% and those who rarely comment now shouldn’t complain about those who are still trying to follow the old rules. I would hate to lose one of the Finest Kind of commenters that are left. Be well, and soon be back, we’ll keep a light on for you.
Not to be outdone, Toto:
Black water Hattie lived back in the swamp
Where the strange green reptiles crawl
Snakes hang thick from the cypress trees
Like sausage on a smokehouse wall
Where the swamp is alive with a thousand eyes
An’ all of them watching you
Stay off the track to Hattie’s Shack in the back of the Black Bayou.
Jim Stafford has a weirdness that fits well with Halloween:
Speaking of juvenile delinquent wrecks:
It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
It never rains in California
But girl don’t they warn ya, it pours, man it pours.
