Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 11
July 11, 2022
Merryman Monday - Name Droppers with Wink Martinsquirrel


Hello, everyone and I'm sorry I've been away for so long. There was the Grammys, the Tonys, the Oscars, and more red carpets than a ginger convention. Of course, I did run into some fine folks along the way, like Robert Redtail, James Squirrely Jones, Squirrel Streep, Martin Squirrelsese, and my favorite, Squirrely MacLaine. But, enough about me. Unless you'd like me to go on...okay, okay, I get it. On with the show.

Each of today's lyrics contain the name of a famous person. This name (one or more words) is left blank as designated by _____ and is a bonus for you to fill in for each song.
