God Bless my Underwear

(sung to the tune of "God Bless America")

God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Stand beside them, and guide them,
As they sit in a heap by the chair.
From the washer, to the dryer,
To my dresser, to my rear.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, or I'll be bare!

Marv, I guess that means you don't want the words to Cranky Poodle or Take Me Out of the Bathtub! smiley - biggrin

You think the unaus were on a carb high - I just got through feeding a building full of elementary school kids cookies and ice cream cones! smiley - laugh

The Uncle Sam cones turned out really cute. And they're easy to make. You take a cake cone and decorate it to look like Uncle Sam's hat. We put fruit roll up around the brim and used red and blue gel in the little icing tubes to make stripes. Then I put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on a foam plate and put the hat/cone on top. Next I took Redi-Whip and made beards and we used M&Ms for the eyes. The kids loved them. smiley - ok And I had sugar cookies with white icing and red & blue sprinkles. All in all a carbohydrate feast!

We didn't get to see No2 son play smiley - sadface. They changed around the times of the sets and instead of being on at 10.00, they were on at 8.30 and we just couldn't get there in time. But H has just phoned him and No2 son said it went better than they expected, the audience cheered and clapped and No2 son's g/f overheard someone saying that it was the best band they had heard there for ages smiley - smiley They have also been asked back to do a longer set smiley - ok

Glad they were so successful, Caer. smiley - ok

We actually did about 20 silly songs. I won't bore you with all of them, but here are a couple more that are appropriate for the holiday. Pretend you're 8 and you'll think they're hilarious.

For Chris, Take Me Out of the Bathtub and Cranky Poodle - just because I like that one.

I think these were written by Alan Katz.

Take Me Out of the Bathtub!
(to the tune of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”)

Take me out of the bathtub
Take me out of the suds
I’ve been here soaking since half past two
I feel so sudsy and wrinkl-y, too
Oh, I washed all over my body
My head, my toes, in between
I used one, two, three bars of soap
Take me out…I’m clean!
*************************

And for Independence Day –

Cranky Poodle
(to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”)

Cranky Poodle in my home
Clawing, scratching, howling
Scaring people, scaring cats
Unrolling paper toweling.

Cranky Poodle drives me nuts
Most days I can’t bear it
Wish my folks would trade her for
A hamster or a parrot!

I took cranky for a walk
Although I hate to mention
She pulled me halfway down the block
To chase a fire engine.

Cranky Poodle, you’re a pest
Wish you were a guppy
Oh no! Guess what mom told me
Our poodle just had puppies!
***************************

Now, wasn't that fun, boys and girls? smiley - biggrin

Sounds like good news for you too MR. smiley - ok But I don't know what a TA is. (I probably just forgot.)

Why bathtub? Why not? I'm often partial to a little randomness, me. smiley - winkeye

TA's are teachers assistants. That can mean either an unpaid slave or a slacker credit (this is from my own exp as a TA in highschool, not college).

TA is the Territorial Army in the UK. They may be reservists but in the recent nasty episode where every bit as vital as the regulars.
