A Couple of Swells
Judy Garland, Fred Astaire

We’re a couple of swells
We stop at the best hotels
But we prefer the country far away from the city smells
We’re a couple of sports
The pride of the tennis courts
In June, July and August we look cute when we’re dressed in shorts
The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea
We don’t know how to get there, no sirree
No sirree…
We would ride up the avenue
But we haven’t got the price
We would skate up the avenue
But there isn’t any ice
We would ride on a bicycle
But we haven’t got a bike
So we’ll walk up the avenue
Yes we’ll walk up the avenue
And to walk up the avenue’s what we like
Wall Street bankers are we
With plenty of currency
We’d open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key
We’re the favourite lads
Of girls in the picture ads
We’d like to tell who we kissed last night but we can’t be cads
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club
But how are we to get there, that’s the rub
That’s the rub
We would sail up the avenue
But we haven’t got a yacht
We would ride up the avenue
But the horse we had was shot
We would go on a trolleycar
But we haven’t got the fare
So we’ll walk up the avenue
Yes we’ll walk up the avenue
And we’ll walk up the avenue till we’re there
We would swim up the avenue
But we haven’t any lake
So we’ll walk up the avenue
Yes we’ll walk up the avenue
Yes a walk up the avenue’s what we’ll take!

Easter Parade
Judy Garland

Never saw you look quite so pretty before.
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely, what’s more.
I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely
Easter morning,
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door for:
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I’ll be all in clover, and when they look you over
I’ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you’ll find that you’re in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I’m taking to the Easter Parade.
In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
I’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
You’ll be all in clover, and when they look me over
You’ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you’ll find that you’re in the rotogravure.
Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet
And of the girl you’re taking to the Easter Parade.

Bob Seger
“Old Time Rock And Roll”

Just take those old records off the shelf
I’ll sit and listen to ’em by myself
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Don’t try to take me to a disco
You’ll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door
I like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Won’t go to hear ’em play a tango
I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There’s only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Still like that old-time rock ‘n’ roll

Pink
“Get The Party Started”

I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started

Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody’s waiting for me to arrive
Sendin’ out the message to all of my friends
We’ll be looking flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lot of style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started

Pumping up the volume, breaking down to the beat
Cruisin’ through the west side
We’ll be checkin’ the scene
Boulevard is freakin’ as I’m comin’ up fast
I’ll be burnin’ rubber, you’ll be kissin’ my abs
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says Stunner #1 Superstar

I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Get this party started

Making my connection as I enter the room
Everybody’s chilling as I set up the groove
Pumpin’ up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody’s dancing and they’re dancing for me
I’m your operator, you can call anytime
I’ll be your connection to the party line

I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Get this party started
Get this party started right now
Get this party started
Get this party started
Get this party started right now

Time for a little Club Sheba

@taci,

Purple Rain
Prince, The Revolution

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can’t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I’m singing about up here
C’mon, raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain

Cherie Good Morning to you and the Captain.

I am not trying to be a debbie downer the fact are my parents were married over 30 years.
My mom wanted the divorce. The rents were childhood sweethearts. My mom told me
to stay out of it and I always do what my mom tells me. ♥ I can’t help if I don’t like how
things went down. That’s all it is. I refuse to give this woman another thought she knows
what she did. Talk to Captain about being cross Leos are like that we do not forgive easily.
Break out hearts and we have to think about it for a while. Honestly she really does not
bother me because she has it made. My mom does alright too. Family matters. LOL!

Now you and your family have a great day hey I dreamed of Prince last night one of those
dreams where we are at some beautiful mansion and he is sick. I just looked and this is the month he passed. Cherie not my first day at the Rodeo it was very strange.

I know you have the Easter Clothes all ready. 🙂 Hugs to your mom and MIL. 🙂

@kittengirl,

Top of the Morning to you and I see your very busy yesterday. I am glad Isabel will be
alright. 🙂 The furbabies are like our children. Kitten you asked about Andrew Lessman
I think he will be on this weekend with the Eye Support. If not the Eye Support is up
for a special price. I ordered a big bottle from the Q it was on special.

Sunny but chilly day with irons in the fire already. Take care of the little ones. ♥

@loaf,

I am so happy to see you post. 🙂 So the Fur Babies posed for pictures. So cute..♥
Don’t mention tax season I dread it.

Are you cooking a meal for the family for Easter? I wish I could spend that day with you
Loaf. We could talk about the gentle woman I have spent many days in your kitchen.
I love it there. ♥ Hugs.

@bichon18,

Good Morning in Florida and I know you are happy to be home. Hugs to little Ari I know
he is happy to see Mommy. ♥ The sun is out today but it is chilly.

Amy I like the Marla Wynne Jeggings that is something I can use and go to wear outfit. ♥

Say hello to Jerry and now you get back in the groove of life.

@deeklez,

Morning Deek. Thanks for dropping in I hope all is well with you.
Yeah I am in my 5th year of doing this thread.♥ I hope you have a great
Saturday. If you should hear from Bassettbabe let her know I am thinking of her
and I hope she is well.

Thank you. Deek I did leave you a Christmas and New Year’s Shout Out but I don’t
think you saw it. So I will say Happy Easter now.

@taci,

Have a great hike today and I hope you see a lot of colors. Funny you seeing bunnies
while driving I guess they come out this time of year. I am going to the animal store
today to get some special food for the bunny. I hope he stays a while. 🙂

Enjoy the view around the way. 🙂
