Monday Mornin'

[weaktwos]

It took a mighty big spatula to pry myself and the cats from our slumber this morning. I relied heavily on my snooze button. The cats were not nearly as skiddish as they normally might be after hearing the alarms. They were curled up into cuddly little balls, displaying that irresistable sleeping cat face.

In between snoozes, a song kept running through my brain. It was none other than the "Lime in the Coconut" song.

I've been at work two hours now and still I have not shaken off all the sleepies.

Bah.

Why, yes, I am evil!

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime.

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up,

And said, "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

"Now let me get this straight ",
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up,

And say, 'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Doctor, dooooctor, to relieve this belly ache?'

Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Wouh wouh wouh wouh wouh

Glad to be of "help." :)

You're not evil at all! Thanks for the lyrics. :-) I still love the song. I have the Muppet Show version. :-) The song is nearly the same except the malady is "flipper ache" instead of belly.

I love the scene in Practical Magic where the song is playing during the witches' Midnight Margarita night. :-)

Haven't seen that movie ... I just remember playing the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack over and over, until the song got firmly embedded in my brain.

"Flipper ache" is great. :)

Stuck in the middle...

Ahhh, Reservoir Dogs...You can be Mr. Pink.

I do not remember Coconut being played in that movie. However, I cannot listen to the song "Stuck in the Middle with You" again without thinking of the torture scene involving the ear cutting and gasoline (or some similar substance).

Practical Magic is something that yes, you may not have seen due to it's Chicky-flickyhood. For some reason, I adore it's quirky romance.

I think I'm more similar to Mr. White. Having watched that film several times, I think I'd follow the same character arc ... get suckered in by the mole, and then blow his head off while going down in a hail of bullets at the end.
