Lyrically Speaking - 2/17/20
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2020 7:39 am
Good morning sir, or ma'am, as the case may be. My name's Columbo, I'm a lieutenant. Homicide. I came by today to ask you a couple questions about some songs... (digs through trenchcoat pockets)... hmmm, I had that game with me just a minute ago. Well, anyway sir or ma'am... this is a Theme Thursday game, so that means we need to find a common link between all of these... what? It's Monday? (Checks watch. Taps on the glass in vain to get watch going again) Well, who can tell what day it is with how busy I stay? Well, I guess that's about it.... oh wait, I do have one more question. Have you seen my wife anywhere. I keep talking about her, but even I haven't seen her since our wedding day! Oh well, no big loss. Have a nice day, sir or ma'am!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...
1. Than sit around the house
Get high and watch the tube
And here`s what happened
When they decided to cut loose
2. One foot on the brake
And one on the gas, hey
3. Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
4. And the sound of the battle rang
Through the streets of the old east side
Til the last of the hoodlum gang
Had surrendered up or died
5. The poor cook, he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and
He ate up all of my corn
6. It's got safety tubes
But I ain't scared
The brakes are good
The tires fair
7. There just ain't no excuse and you know you're gonna lose
You never win, I'll say it again
8. My mom started bugging
With the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothing at first
I just turned up my nose
9. Dallas, got a soft machine
Houston, too close to New Orleans
New York got the ways and means
But just won`t let you be
10. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face or touch your hand
11. I done made some plans for later on tonight
I'll find a little queen and I know I can treat her right
12. I told her that I
Was a flop with chicks
I've been this way
Since 1956
