Like to a friar bold Robin Hood
Was dressed in his array
With hood, gown, beads and crucifix
He walked along his way

(one of those Robin Hood ballads...)

Ring my friend I said you'd call Dr. Robert
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all Dr. Robert

Dr. Robert, you're a new and better man
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can
Dr. Robert


"Dr. Robert," by the Beatles

Do I get bonus points for having two names within the same eight words?

Sandra Dodd said...

Way up in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota there lived a young boy named Rocky Racoooooon...

(I would have wondered if Rocky Racoon would qualify but it SAYS "boy" just nearly as plain as day...)

Bonus points for Freedom!!

Unknown said...

Cool, bonus points :)

Here's one my hubby came up with:


Don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Slim.

... the story of Randy Raccoon, he stays up all night and he sleeps until noon....

Randy Raccoon
by Tom T. Hall

I know in the song he's talking about a raccoon, buy Randy is a real boys name (ex: singer Randy Travis).

Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking,
What a gay life this would be...

Sandra Dodd said...

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
Waylon and Willie and the boys

and I think Marji left this one for me:

Last time I saw Richard was in [somewhere} in '68
and he said "All romantics meet the same fate..."

Joni Mitchell, "Last Time I Saw Richard"
(Detroit?)

marji said...

A love-struck Romeo
Sings the street a serenade
He's layin' everybody low
With a love song that he made
He finds himself a street lamp
Steps out of the shade and says something like
"You and me, babe, how 'bout it?"


"Romeo & Juliet," by Mark Knopfler

(And yes, Sandra, it's Detroit.) :)

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping down the Bunny Trail

Sandra Dodd said...

We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie...

(from "Rocky Horror," and "movie" rhymed with a preceding "groovy.")

Paige said...

So put Rufus on the left one,
and put me right on the right
and like Romulus and Remus
we'll suck all night
C'mon, Mama
go on and open up your shirt.
Yeah, you've got the goods Mama
give your little boy a squirt.

~Rufus is a Tit Man (a great lil folk-y song about a baby breastfeeding, by Rufus' Dad, Loudoun Wainwright III)

Oliver's Army, Elvis Costello.

Sandra Dodd said...

I saw the O- and assumed it was O-Z so my Waylon and Willie is no good, but it was with a Richard so it is O-S... Oh well... I didn't read BOTH letters, just the first one. Sorry.

(Marty pointed this out to me, when he asked me to delete two posts of his that were boys' names NOT in the O-S range.)

Romeo loved Juliet,
Juliet she felt the same

(the word prince looks really odd to me now...does that happen to anyone else, when a word is repeated so much it becomes abstract?)
