About a Raia I'll sing a song,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
About a Raia I'll sing a song,
Who knew that the party was going wrong;
Not only did it go so wrong,
She did every one of us in, us in -
She did every one of us in.

One evening in a fit of pique,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
One evening in a fit of pique,
She jumped right up in a silent shriek;
There was a mouse on the floor, and so meek -
Nobody had brought him right in, right in,
Nobody had brought him right in.

Her rivals she could not dare stand,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
Her rivals she could not dare stand,
A food from the recipe she planned;
And Quiddie died with the spoon in her hand -
And Ralphie put on a grin, a grin,
And ralphie put on a grin.

She weighed Tom Davidson down with stones,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
She weighed Tom Davidson down with stones,
And sent him off to Davy Jones;
All Steve Rogers had found were some bones -
And occasional pieces of skin, of skin,
And occasional pieces of skin.

She set the Hatrack stove on fire,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
She set the Hatrack stove on fire,
And burned dear bev'ley, for she was a crier;
And Raia danced round the funeral pyre -
Playing a violin, o-lin,
Pleaying a violin.

That eve, when she ran out of what to do,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
That eve, when she ran out of what to do,
She chopped up our dear-most Rivka in two;
And staked her along with the kitchens' full crew -
And invited I3 for the din, the din;
And invited I3 for the din.

And when at last sexy JH came by,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
And when at last sexy JH came by,
Her petty pranks she could not deny;
For then she knew she'd have to lie -
And lying she knew was a sin, a sin,
And lying she knew was a sin.

My tragic tale I won't prolong,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
My tragic tale I won't prolong,
And If you did not enjoy this song -
You're all to blame if it's too long;
You should not have let me begin, begin,
You should not have let me begin.

That was pretty labor intensive, JH. [Smile]

(btw - Your tongue wouldn't be so much sticking out at me as it would be in the panting position. You're in your teens, for Pete's sake! Women are all panting material!)
 
Posted by Mormo (Member # 5799) on :
 
JH, don't stick it out unless you're willing to...or never mind.
Cool song! [Cool]

No hard feelings on my behalf, by the way.

JH
