Thread Name: Song Challenge: Jeri and the stump
Subject: RE: Need words -songs about Jeri and stump
Okay as I was extraditing my car from a Newark parking lot today with a mundane tow truck instead of a handy parcel of Shany men, bits and pieces of this thread kept flitting through my mind. And my stray thoughts
Now if women wrote shanties they'd be more like old blues...
Like Johnson Girls, but about guys... Then Noreen's line came to mind...
I think I better send big hugs to {{{{{Mick and Jeri}}}}} before I post this... BG.. Honest you guys know I love you... I kept to the story line really I did... Just like that Peanut song, everyone keeps misunderstanding...
Shanty Ladies don't sing the blues Jack'er off boys, jack'er off When Big Mick Lane provides the view Jack'er off boys jack'er off
Buns raised high, but they work down low If you get it right she won't need a tow
One inch, two inch,four, five, six Boys don't leave her in this fix
Her engine's revin' but she's not quite on Give her one more inch she'll be off the lawn
Two big ol' buzzards watching from a tree That sweet release will set you free
