A friend sent me these lyrics. I am not sure who wrote them (maybe Christine Lavin?) but this was recorded by the Chenille Sisters. I think it is funny, although I don't ever see myself singing it ............................


Blowing in the Wind
How many roads must a man drive down
Before he admits he is lost?
Why when a man becomes married is he
Unable to find his own socks?
How many times will it take 'til he knows
He's seen the Three Stooges enough?
The answer, my friend, I cannot comprehend,
The answer I cannot comprehend.

How many shows can a man surf through
Before the remote burns out?
Why does he think that an intimate gift
Is a Dustbuster Plus for the house?
How many sounds can a man's body make
Before he sleeps on the couch?
The answer, my friend, is take two aspirin,
The answer is take two aspirin.

Why when we go for a romantic drive
Do we wind up at Builder's Square again?
How many nights will he leave the seat up
So I land on cold porcelain?
How men really feel is a mystery to me
And prob'ly a mystery to them.
The answer, girlfriend, is driving me to gin,
The answer is driving me to gin.

Yeah, that's the one Spaw. And why is it that parts of the song remind me irresistibly of you ? :-)

How much wood must a woodchuck chuck,
Before he chucks enough wood?
And how many knees must a Negro grow,
Before he grows enough knees?
Yes an' how many poles must a polack lock
Before he locks enough poles?
The answer my friend
Is blowin' out your end
The answer is blowing in the wind.

Hmmm. Where are the people decrying the man-bashing?

I'm sure they'll be by later.

Ok, ok. Fine.

I decry the man-bashing.

And I'm learning this song immediately. Why, I wonder, am I learning more parodies than actual songs these days?
