They’re just too funny

I work in a huge college town (which is an understatement) so we have more than a couple tattoo and piercing places. So, in order to make themselves stand out (how does one choose a tattoo parlor? yellow pages?) there is one that puts a witty quote on their sign. It might help to say that this particular place is directly across the street from the main campus.

This week:

Tattoos while you wait.

I’ll be sure to keep you posted if it changes. The place about three miles up has “Give the gift they’ll keep forever.”

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun

Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin’, “This is my message to you-u-u.”
Singin’…

Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause ev’ry little thing gonna be alright
Singin’, “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause ev’ry little thing gonna be alright.”

Good Buddy

Okay, the darndest songs pop into my head, and set up an outpost and stay there. Here’s this afternoon’s treat:

I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
you’re gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
you know my love a-not fade away
a-well, you know my love a-not fade away

My love a-bigger than a cadillac
I try to show it and you drive a-me back
your love for me a-got to be real
for you to know just how I feel
a love for real not fade away

I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
you’re gonna give your love to me
a love to last a-more than one day
a love that’s love – not fade away
a well, a-love that’s love – not fade away

Of course, this was from the great Buddy Holly and the Crickets.

And somebody one cube over is singing “All By Myself” alternating with “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” Just thought you should know.
