Thread Name: Song Challenge! Part 23
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 23
Lotsa comments, but no songs...So, I guess I'll start things off. My first 'crush' was in the first grade, when kids are more prone to express their affection with teasing and physicality. My song is based on a true story -- whether it's mine or not, I'll just leave that to your imagination...*BG*

A Tomboy's Ode To Love
(Tune: Both Sides Now/Joni Mitchell)

Don't call me that or I'll smash your face
I'll spread you, boy, all 'round this place
Just 'cuz I like you, don't make a case
For you to call me that

I don't even let Mama say my first name
Though she gave it to me, it's just the same
If you'd been stuck with something that lame
I know you'd feel this way

Chorus:
So go on, bubba, say it loud
If you want to attract a crowd
The kids will see me lay you out
You're just the cutest thing, you see!


Moon me, goose me, pull my hair
Don't say my first name, don't you dare!
What can I say to put a scare
In you to shut you up?

Although you laugh and point in fun
I know you'd like to buzz me one
Your words are mean, but I know I've won
You like me too, I'd say

So go on, bubba, say it loud
If you want to attract a crowd
The kids will see me lay you out
You're just the cutest thing, you see!


Ah come on now, don't be a wimp
You knew I'd win, don't be a simp
Just lean on me if ya hafta limp
That's a neat-o bruise right there

Let's go play king-of-the-hill
I'll let you win, promise I will
We've got all afternoon to kill
So let's be friends, OK?

So go on, bubba, say it loud
If you want to attract a crowd
The kids will see me lay you out
You're just the cutest thing, you see!
