I have a half dozen friends
who all share the same name
and
who to this day
all go by nickname based on their real name.
Why?
Because their parents were total hippies and named them after a song about a floozy named
Cecilia.
CECILIA- Simon and Garfunkel
CHORUS:
F Bb F
Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
Bb F C
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Bb F Bb F
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
Bb F C
I’m begging you please to come home
F
Come on home
CHORUS
F Bb F
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Bb C F
Up in my bedroom
Bb F
I got up to wash my face
Bb
When I come back to bed
C F
Someone’s taken my place …CHORUS
F Bb F Bb F C
Bo po bo bo …
Bb F Bb F
Jubilation, she loves me again
Bb F C
I fall on the floor and I laughing
Bb F Bb F
Jubilation, she loves me again
Bb F C
I fall on the floor and I laughing
Bb F Bb F Bb F C
Wo ho oooh …

What’s the nickname your friends use?
Hi N.M.
I’ll tell you a couple because they’ve told the story themselves, the other ones-
Oh No Way.
Here we go : Lia , Cila and Sal.
Nothing weird or fancy- they just didn’t want to be named for a well, a free love advocate
😉
