Orrr the fields we go.......

Barb 11-14-2007 04:26 PM

Okay...cool!!

I was going to start a thread because I'm in the jovial mood myself, but you beat me to it. :thumbsup

Picture it...a nine year old child is traveling and singing Southern Gospel with her family. She steps to the mic and begins to sing, not a gospel song, but My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music.

After the applause, her father says, "Olivia, that was a great list of favorite things for a nine year old little girl...but we have folks here tonight that look like they might be a little older than that.

Do you have a list of things that are important to them?!"

And she sings...:musicnotes

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings
Bundles of magazines tied up in strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses
Pacemakers, golf carts, and porches with swings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the pipes leak, when the bones creak
When the knees go bad
Just simply remember your favorite things
And then you won't feel so bad

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring
These are a few of my favorite things

Back pains, confused brains, always something needs mended
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin'
And we won't mention your short, shrunken frames
When we remember your favorite things

When the joints ache, when the hips break
When the eyes grow dim
Just simply remember the great life you've had
And then you won't feel so bad
:musicnotes

One of my faves:

Rudolph the bow-legged cowboy
had a very shiney gun
and if you ever saw him
you would turn around and run
All of the other cowboys
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
in on any poker games
Then one foggy Saturday night
the sherrif came to say
Rudolph with your guns so bright
won't you shoot my wife tonight?
Then how the cowboys loved him
as they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the bow-legged cowboy
now you're in the Penitentiary!

Monkeyman 11-14-2007 04:51 PM

I hate this song...but because so many are from here....here ya go


Come on, weather man,
give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers
of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are calling, Denver snow falling
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep.

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
is the only Christmas for me.

Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting
Still I think I'm gonna keep.

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
is the only Christmas for me.

Jodiah91 11-14-2007 05:03 PM

Here is another one that always makes me laugh. . .(to the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen):caroling

1. The restroom door said Gentlemen
So I just walked inside
I took two steps and realized
I'd been taken for a ride
I heard high voices turned and found
The place was occupied

By two nuns, three old ladies, and a nurse
What could be worse?
Than two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse.

2. The restroom door said Gentlemen
It must have been a gag
As soon as I walked in there I ran into some old hag
She sprayed me with a can of mace
And snapped me with her bag.

I could tell this just wouldn't be my day
What can I say?
It just wasn't turning out to be my day.

3. The restroom door said Gentlemen
And I would like to find
The crummy little creep who had the nerve to switch the sign
Cause I've got two black eyes
And one high heel up my behind

Now I can't sit with comfort and joy
Boy, oh, boy
No, I'll never sit with comfort and joy.

Hey, my geetar, "Cheeto" don't play no country!!!
I love playing it, really smooth.

Kae 11-14-2007 08:36 PM

My favorite:

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose wont freeze.

The world is your snowball, see how it grows
Thats how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

Bells on bob tails ring




Jingle Bells!

Believe it or not Jingle Bells, one of the most famous American Christmas songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving! The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since. The essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in the lyrics of Jingle Bells and the sound effects using the bells have become synonymous with the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of children of all ages!
