Thread Name: Craig Johnson songs
Subject: Correction: How Can I Keep from Swinging
ohhh...BTW...in that link to Craig's parody of How Can I Keep from Singing"!!

Dick G. got the song from me after I begged Craig for it...but... one of the verses was added by me (with Craig's permission), and Dick's tape got it wrong...*grin*...so here's the song with correction! (There's a couple small other things, but not serious)

HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SWINGING?
(Craig Johnson)

Our life flows on, an endless song
Of tedium and frustration.
With love grown old, and sex grown cold
What's left for recreation?
And so we slumber by the tube,
But..Hark! The doorbell's ringing
It's Bob and Sal and Ted and Sue..
How can we keep from swinging?

We'll take a drink to loosen up
And have some conversation,
Then intermingle on the floor
And practise fornication.
So you grab mine and I'll take yours
While Manilow is singing
By Golly! Did I lock the doors?
How can we keep from swinging?

Since these new friends have come our way
Our lifestyle's been most frightening more sprightly;
Mazola parties every day,
And Kama Sutras nightly.
There's videos and Polaroids
While lingerie we're flinging...
Creative use of chocolate fudge
How can we keep from swinging?

So you do mine and I'll do yours,
And we'll do one another.
Why not invite the folks nest door?
And likewise Dad and Mother?
And when the months have passed away
And we're left sore and stinging,
We'll wish Aunt Mabel hadn't come..
How can we keep from swinging?

from Bill Day's singing
