_I’m a little bit country
 And I’m a little bit rock 'n roll 
I’m a little bit of Memphis and Nashville
 With a Little bit of Motown in my soul._ Doe is _a deer, a female deer
_ Ray is _a drop of golden sun_ 
Me is _a name I call myself
_ Far is _a long long way to run
_ Sew is _a needle pulling thread_ La is _a note to follow so
_ Tea is _a drink with jam and bread_ and _That will bring us back to Do, oh oh oh_. ---

Everything is beautiful, in its own way. (I can vouch that this is false: I just got hit with a case of shingles - Dopers over 50, get vaccinated! - and if there’s a way my face is beautiful right now, it’s hard to imagine. :D) ---
