by my oh my good times.
the first planned, karaoke with the co-workers night, went swimmingly. not as many people came out as said they would, but as it turned out that was good cause there was a dodge-ball season which had just ended and was being celebrated at the bar we went to.
twas a lil'crowded at times.
my voice, this morning, is shot all to hell. both from the singing and the needing to talk/yell over noice levels.
i sound like a chronic smoker...
still and all everyone had a great time, some good singing was had by all....weather they were good singers or not....for some it was their very first time and they just threw themselves into it whole heartedly, and i think sometimes that more appriciated then just good singing.
OMG and there was this one dude...had to be like...60+ years old and he was grizzled and grey bearded and wearing old man clothes and he just got up and sang the hell out of
Well, I guess it was back in ’63
When eatin’ my cookin’ got the better of me,
So I asked this little girl I was goin’ with to be my wife.
Well, she said she would, so I said “I do”.
But I’da said I wouldn’t if I’da just knew
How sayin’ “I do” was gonna screw up all of my life!
Well, the first few years weren’t all that bad -
I’ll never forget the good times we had
‘Cause I’m reminded every month when I send her the child support.
Well, it wasn’t too long till the lust all died,
And I’ll admit I wasn’t too surprised
The day I come home and found my suitcase sittin’ out on the porch.
Well, I tried to get in - she changed the locks!
Then I found this note taped on the mailbox
That said, “Goodbye, turkey! My attorney will be in touch!” Mm-hmm…
So I decided right then and there
I’s gonna do what’s right - give her her fair share.
But brother - I didn’t know her share’s gon’ be THAT much!
She got the gold mine! She got the gold mine!
I got the shaft. I got the shaft.
They split it right down the middle,
And then they give her the better half.
Well, it all sounds sorta funny,
But it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.
Now, listen - you ain’t heard nothin’ yet:
Why, they give her the color television set,
Then they give her the house, the kids, and both of the cars! See?
Well, then they start talkin’ ‘bout child support,
Alimony, and the cost of the court -
Didn’t take me long to figure out how far in the toilet I was!
I’m tellin’ ya, they have made a mistake
‘Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes!
Besides; everything I ever had worth takin’, they’ve already took!
While she’s livin’ like a queen on alimony,
I’m workin’ two shifts eatin’ baloney,
Askin’ myself, “Why didn’t you just learn how to cook?!?!”
They give her the gold mine! She got the gold mine!
They give me the shaft. I got the shaft.
They said they’re splittin’ it all down the middle,
But she got the better half.
Well, it all sounds mighty funny,
But it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.
Well, she got the gold mine! She got the gold mine!
I got the shaft. I got the shaft.
They split it all down the middle,
And then they give her the better half.
Well, I guess it all sounds funny, Hoo, hoo, hoo, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
But it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.
(They ain’t kiddin’ me - I got the shaft.)
Well, I don’t have to worry ‘bout totin’ a billfold n’more.
Hahahahaha…
I let my wife tote it; I’mon’ be carryin’ food stamps -
You get it, judge? I’mon’ be… Just… Hahahaha…
Ah, it’s not funny, huh? Huh? Huh?
Contempt of court? Whaddaya mean?
Listen, judge: I’s just kiddin’!
and if you've never heard it ,please read the lyrics and picture this guy singing it at a lesbian bar while me and my co-workers cheered and danced along...
********************
and then i woke up to this song on the radio and i thought..."Yeah...sometimes, that IS all i need..."
If I could make a wish
I think Id pass
Cant think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask
Theres nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
and then i groaned cause i realized i also needed 3 more hours of sleep....ugh....
