What I Want For Christmas Pt 1

November 23, 2008 / Anita Marie / 6 Comments

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that’s the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

(Short Music Interlude)

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

(Short Music Interlude)

There’s lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Ode To My Hippy- Baby Friends

November 23, 2008November 23, 2008 / Anita Marie / 2 Comments

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 …

Another Bloody Musical?!

When I go shopping at the grocery and I’m waiting in line to be checked out

I don’t watch TV on those little screens above the cash registers.

I don’t reach for ” People ” magazine, or one of those snacks or paperbook books they put on those racks that divide the lines.

I’m pretty good about not going for the impulse items.

HOWEVER

I have been known to shove baby strollers, old people and seeing eye dogs out of my way in order to get my hands on the Weekly World News if Bat Boy was on the cover.

If you have to write stories about Vampires or Bat People, for heaven’s sake tell a good story- and I happen to think that the Bat Boy stories were darn great stories.

And I’m not alone.

Bat Boy is a musical now…oh hurray!

A MUSICAL!

Here’s the LINK

Trust me…you do NOT want to miss out on the coolness that is

BAT BOY

Barack Obama Won.

John McCain did not win

and Sarah Palin is still an idiot.

If you can believe it I have a question ….

an important question

and it’s important….

so think on it carefully before you answer

Pirate Theme Song Saturday

November 15, 2008 / Anita Marie / 2 Comments

What do two of my favorite things in the world…

Pirates and David Tennant

have in common?

Absolutely

NOTHING

Trust me, I checked.

But I did find a neat Pirate Tune / Doctor Who mashup that looked like fun

so sing it in good health and enjoy the D.W. clips.

Force yourself.

It will be worth it.

“The Pirates That Don’t Do Anything”

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

well I’ve never been to Greenland
and I’ve never been to Denver
and I’ve never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
and I’ve never been to Moscow
and I’ve never been to Tampa
and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

and I’ve never hoist the main sail
and I’ve never swabbed the poop deck
and I’ve never veered starboard, cause I’ve never sailed at all
and I’ve never walked the gang plank
and I’ve never owned a parrot.
and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

I’ve never plucked a rooster
and I am not too good at ping-pong
and I’ve never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
and I’ve never kissed a chipmunk,
and I’ve never gotten head lice
and I have never been to Boston in the fall

(pirate captains log 2002
who be this band relient k
and why they be so full of contradictions)

we don’t know what he did
but we’re down with captain kidd
we don’t wake up before lunch
but we all eat captain crunch
we don’t smoke, we don’t chew
we watch captain kangaroo

and I’ve never licked a spark-plug
and I’ve never sniffed a stink bug
and I’ve never painted Daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I’ve never bathed in yogurt
and I don’t look good in leggings
and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

we are the pirates who don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything

we are the pirates we don’t do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we’ll just tell you, we don’t do anything
