Kim's song wins for best lyrics


you guys are wishing I had bucket about now, aren't you......

No! I actually enjoyed that!

 

[HARASW]

You do know that you could have easily used Sherry by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!!
Though, the lyrics to the one you chose are definitley more interesting!!

Was40 you sure do know how to waste pages.

For someone who says so little, you just said it all.

And that reminds me of an old Bud comercial.

[coles1mom]

Oh, and I'm surrounded by police. What are you surrounded by today?

The suspense is killing me. I have ruled out

 

[coles1mom]

I have no clue what this thread's about, but I can't pass up a leg lamp.
Fra-gee-lay! Must be Italian!

Pop back in sometime

What, all those lyrics and I am still number three? Seriously!

You do know that you could have easily used Sherry by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!!

Oh, I know a lot of Sherry ones.......Sherry Baby, Oh, Sherry .... but I googled each one and took the first (top) hit except for Barb, I had to use my thinking cap for that one. the top one had the name only in the title , not the song.

For someone who says so little, you just said it all.

And that reminds me of an old Bud comercial.

Hmmmm, I happen to be able to play that Bud commercial jingle (on the flute) to this day.......for some reason we marched to it at some parades when i was in HS, think 80's..........still makes little sense.

D, E, F, G,
G, A, B, C, B, B, A, A, G, G, .........
I am full of worthless knowledge.

Claudia

It was just 50 meters of pale blue water
It was cool in the California heat
And the golden swimmers laid their soaking towels on the pool deck
To keep themselves from blistering their feet
And yet another station wagon parked in the parking lot
And yet another kid had come to swim
To swim for the champion club Santa Clara
Where everybody seemed to win
She asked for a trial and the coach with a smile
Said he’d be glad to see what she could do
But as he watched that little 12 year old attack the water
It was obvious she hadn’t got a clue.
She wasn’t very strong she did everything wrong
Just another kid he’d have to turn away.
But she explained that she’d failed in a bunch of other sports
So the coach said if she worked hard she could stay.
So she came to practice and found out very quickly
There was not a single kid that she could beat
Her suit rubbed hot shoulders and the chlorine blurred her vision
She was last when they put her in a meet
But the coach he was wise and he felt he’d realize
That she’d found another sport she could not do
So he helped her when he could, but told her mother perhaps she should
Look around a bit, find something new.


Chorus

Because she never made the finals
And she never got a ribbon for her wall
She never won a medal or a trophy or a T-shirt
She never won anything at all.




So the season ended and we said goodbye to Claudia
And a chapter came to its appointed end
She hadn’t mastered swimming, she could never think of winning
But at least she felt the coaches were her friends
But on the first day of next season for some masochistic reason
Claudia was standing there again
She swam 2 hours every morning and 2 hours every evening
With discomfort coming awfully close to pain
So when we held a banquet at he closing of the season
Just to give the Olympians their due
We bought a Dolphin trophy for the kid who tried the hardest
And we bought it with one person in view
Mark Spitz and Donny Schollander were scooping up all the silverware
And then we asked for Claudia by name
Oh I’ve never seen such happiness, and tears and total radiance
And I don't care if I never do again

Repeat Chorus



If that was all the story it would still have been worth telling
Because no-one loses when they do their best
But there is a little post-script that may be of some interest
So quickly I shall let you know the rest
Her body changed perceptibly as she approached maturity
And quietly co-ordination came
And when you add co-ordination to total dedication
Then the record books would shortly know her name
After the first 2 years the rest of it came easy
We just sat back and watched the tale unfold
In the individual medleys up in Mexico City
Claudia won 2 Olympic golds
So to all you people sitting there with your expertise and your savior faire
Be careful to all the kids that you turn away
For there’s many hurts and many scars when you reach for your appointed stars
But they’re not always as far as first they seem



She won 2 Olympic finals
And she won a stack of ribbons for her wall
She won a bunch of medals and some trophies and some T-shirts
But the Dolphin trophy meant the most of all

Morning Was 40

Stay away from the peanut M&M's today. You can eat until 10 tonight, can't you. The fast food joints will go out of business if you can't.
