Thread Name: Origins: having fun/making whoopee
Subject: Origins: having fun/making whoopee
I've been doing a lyric for Thanksgiving using a line or two I believe I've heard before, but can't find in the dt. It's more or less like Making Whoopee, but the turnaround line instead is/was The greatest thing under the sun is having fun.
Anyone else think they've heard something like that? It might've been The sweetest thing. It seems to me I got it somewhere, and I'd like to find it.
Mine is for kids. Closest it gets to Making Whoopee is
We all agree, with no dissention thankfully, it's our intention to give thanks for so many good things we love even some that we won't mention but the greatest thing under the sun is having fun.
and then becomes my new additive rhyming game with kids, with the usual orange-rhyme business and my orange story
we're thankful for apples, and thankful for oranges we're thanful for windows and doors we're thankful for the door-hinges, etc.
thankful for spoons, thankful for forks too thankful for sparkling grape juice in bottles that don't need a corkscrew
anyway. I think there's a song like that, somewhere. Help?
