Monday

[weaktwos]

So far, today has been a good day. I traded days off with a coworker this week, as she needed Friday off. So, today, after sleeping comfortably in, I:

• Did yard work.


• Washed the formerly white car. Yay!


• Organized my cooking spices on new little cupboard organizer gadget.


• Ran assorted errands, some successful, some not.

I did manage to aquire the soundtrack to the Chicago Movie-Musical, and Dave Matthews Band's Busted Stuff.

I'm about to restring my geetar. But before I go, here are the lyrics to one of my favorite Chicago songs. It packs more double entendres in a catchy tune since Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom".

And with no further adieu...

WHEN YOU'RE GOOD TO MAMA


Matron:
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell I'm the biggest mother hen
I love 'em all and all of them love me
Because the system works
The system called reciprocity...

Got a little motto
Always sees me through
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you!

There's a lot of favors
I'm prepared to do
You do one for Mama
She'll do one for you

They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give
Don't you know that this hand
Washes that one too
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you!

If you want my gravy
Pepper my ragout
Spice it up for Mama
She'll get hot for you

When they pass that basket
Folks contribute to
You put in for Mama
She'll pull out for you

The folks atop the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder, kid
And I'll boost you up yours

Let's all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew
When you're strokin' Mama
Mama's strokin' you

So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you
