Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?

"Rosemary's Wine" by Neil Diamond

And her eyes
Hurt the way they do
Almost like they’d seen
Almost like they knew

sequences of mass and space,
he sees the damage in my face,

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you're departin'
I hope that you know I'll always care
And while my poor feelings are still smartin'
I'm saying good-bye to you with my hair

Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.

When you're cute it just shows
With these two darling eyes and this cute little nose...
...and when they see my dimples then everyone says
"Oh shoot! Isn't she cute?!"

...with my lips sticking out in that cute little pout

My boyfriend's name is Mellow
He comes from the land of Jell-o
With pickles for his toes
And a cherry for his nose
And that's the way
My story goes

-"Pretty Little Dutch Girl" handclapping song

Sandra Dodd said...

Sally! What we did was

My boyfriend's name is Tony
He comes from the land of baloney
With pickles on his toes
And a strawberry nose
And this is how this story goes

One day while I was walking
I saw my boyfriend talking
To a pretty little girl
With a strawberry curl
And this is what he said to her

I L-O-V-E love you
I'll K-I-S-S kiss you
I'll K-I-S-S kiss you on
Your F-A-C-E, F-A-C-E,
F-A-C-E, face face face

Ah. Sorry to get carried away, but I have responded to Sally's exciting post, and I've played "face."

Sally said...

Yay! Now I can play again!

He plays the violin
He tucks it right under his chin
And he bows, oh, he bows
For he knows, yes, he knows
That it's hi-hi-hi-diddle-diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom, and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung
High-high-high-high
I am undone

-"He Plays the Violin" from "1776!"

Sylvia said...

my eyes adored you,
tho I never laid a hand on you,

Frankie Valli

Sandra Dodd said...

When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
Oh Mary did you know

I'm working on a mothers and mother's day page that has some versions of that song. The page is sparse and in-formation right now, and there might be other versions of the song. I like the tune best the way Clay Aiken sings it.

It's just been raining on my face
And if you see some tear tracks on my cheeks
Please don't tell my mates

With her head, tucked underneath her arm, she walks the bloody tower.

Deborah in IL said...

So take a good look at my face

The Tracks of My Tears

Illuminate the nose on their vacancy signs

"I Will Follow You into the Dark," Death Cab for Cutie

#1, let's think about this Anne Boleyn thing. If it's tucked underneath her arm, is it really above her shoulders? Well, it's good enough for this game.

#2, I know that's not the real word, up above, but it always sounds like it to me. It reminds me of
Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose...

And so that will be my real play.
"Rudolf with your nose so bright..."

So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe
Just breathe

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's getting kind of long

Oh baby, never have I met a man so debonair

While my thoughts were busy hatchin'

Oop, does that count if it's specifically the shoulders?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Ten tiny turtles on the telephone
Talkin' with the grocery men
We would like some lettuce
Will you send us ten heads please?
And ten ripe tomata's
And ten rutabagas with dimples on their knees

Sing along with Sesame Street's Number 10 Song
