Woke up late this mornin’

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh  
But it didn’t matter none.

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh  
Cause I don’t got jack to do.

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh  
and dyin’s no fun.

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh  
So I sent Uncle Cecil a question.

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh.  
Hoping he could set me right.

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh.  
But I just got a pre-formulated thank-you-very-much missive.

Duh Dah Duh Da Duh.  
And that won’t get me through the night.

Yes I got the blues… Them low-down no response from the Master, stinking Blues…

My postcount’s palindromic

**Ba bum ba ba bum**

Or it is right now

**Ba bum ba ba bum**

Pretty soon it won’t be

**Ba bum ba ba bum**

And then I’ll look dumb

**Ba bum ba ba bum**

Bragging about my postcount of 1441

**Ba bum ba ba bum**

Oh, I got the Palindromic Postcount Blues!

Yeah, 'cause my postcount will rise

But the posts don’t change, no never

Yeah!

😃

(Damn, that was bad.)

To the tune of ‘Tell Him’ by the Exciters:

I know something about dope,  
I wanna post real bad.  
It’s something in my blood,  
I need my Cecil.

I just want him to,  
find the word with -gry,  
I just want him to,  
tell me how planes fly

Tell me,  
tell me,  
tell me right now.

Ever since the world began,  
it’s been that way dopers and Cecil were created.  
To make truth their destiny,  
and eschew idiocy,  
and drive ignorance from these places.

I know something about dope,  
I wanna post real bad.  
It’s something in my blood,  
I need my Cecil.

I just want him to,  
find the word with -gry,  
I just want him to,  
tell me how planes fly

Tell me,  
tell me,  
tell me right now.

I got me a man in grad school  
And he’s so dissatisfied  
Says he wishes his chair and committee members  
Would just up and go on and die!

'Cause he’s got those  
Looooooow down ugly  
Piled higher and deeper  
Dissertation blues!

And I’m singin’ them too  
(Let me tell ya baby!)  
‘Cause it ain’t no fun right now  
Livin’ in the same house with you . . .

Oh, yeah, let me tell you baby,  
My man gots those ugly

/guitar riff here/

Dissertation blues . . . .

Well I opened the Straight Dope  
Ba da da dum dum  
This morning at work  
And there was this blues thread  
Ba da da dum dum  
I read with a snerk  
Ba da da dum dum  
I splorted my coffee  
Ba da da dum dum  
All over my screen  
And all my cow orkers  
Ba da da dum dum  
Were acting so mean  
Ba da da dum dum  
When they heard me giggling  
Ba da da dum dum  
In my cubicle  
They thought that I finally  
Ba da da dum dum  
Was certifiable….

Well I got them Straight Dope’s gonna get me shitcanned blues….

I was okay until the last line, and then I pulled a Myron and almost had a burst of hysterics in my workplace.

Incidentally, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins recorded a song called **Constipation Blues**. It’s…_interesting_…

“Gotta pain down deep inside  
That cannot be denied,  
Let it go…”

It is my day off  
da da da dum

I want to go to the beach  
da da da dum

but is is cold  
da da da dum  
And it is raining again,  
da da da dum

And the beach is closed,  
da da da dum  
Got too much E.coli at the beach again  
da da da dum  
Cause it has rain’d daily for 3 weeks  
why does it always rain on my day off,  
oh, Lord,  
why does it always rain on my day off?
