the day of the dead

so there I was looking for something very specific and as ever I became side tracked (why is that track so appealing! or am I just easily distracted?) (dis-track-ted, geddit. . .) and ended up here - completely by accident
oooooops. . .

. . .oh well, while we're here, we might as well singalong! ALL TOGETHER NOW:

high on a hill was a lonely goatherd
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
folks in a town that was quite remote heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
a prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
men on a road with a load to tote heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
one little girl in a pale pink coat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
she yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
what a duet for a girl and goatherd
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
one little girl in a pale pink coat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo
she yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hmm hmm
what a duet for a girl and goatherd
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
happy are they lay dee olay dee lee oo
soon the duet will become a trio
lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
odl lay ee, old lay ee
HOO!

on the other hand, we could all sing the Elmo Duckie song. . .

Rather, whatever that may be. I can't see Jean Seberg (must be Julie Andrews' contemporary?) dancing over Alpine meadows and getting enTrapped.

Mel said...

Elmo had four ducks...
Four birds of a feather.
To waddle with
And quack together!

....lalalalala..

<-- has words printed out on the fridge--which means every time himself opens it.....

*laughing!!*

Hi!

Just wanted to pop by and say thank you for dropping by my blog today. It was nice to meet you!

FUN song!

And I LOVE the graphic on your sidebar with the glass, that says...

You Have a Glass

so stop fussing about whether it's half full or half empty.

BRAVO!

Mel la la la la la lalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(but I want you to get Himself to yodel for you!)

Christopher Jean would be leaning against a tree, nonchalantly blowing smoke circles

well, my Jean would be. . .

You know I've never read the words before. And I'm thinking, if they're really expecting a trio they may be disappointed for a year or two.
