PEGGY LEE "MAANA"



Sometimes I know I missed my calling in life. I would have been a great disk jockey, I kid you not. We seem to neglect some of the greats from the past, and I just listened to a rare CD by Peggy Lee. This is a video of one of my favorite songs. Come back tomorrow morning, and I'll have another by Peggy to help you start your day right.

MAANA (Is Soon Enough For Me)
Peggy Lee

The faucet she is dripping and the fence she's fallin' down
My pocket needs some money, so I can't go into town
My brother isn't working and my sister doesn't care
The car she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere
(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

My mother's always working, she's working very hard
But every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yard
My mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is right
I'll go to work maana but I gotta sleep tonight
(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

Oh, once I had some money but I gave it to my friend
He said he'd pay me double, it was only for a lend
But he said a little later that the horse she was so slow
Why he give the horse my money is something I don't know
(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

------ guitar solo ------

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school
My father said he only learned to be a silly fool
My father said that I should learn to make a chile pot
But then I burned the house down, the chile was too hot
(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in
If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
And we don't need a window on such a sunny day
(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!
(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!

A REAL GENTLEMAN

Last night I heard reports of the 86 year old owner, Bud Adams, of the Tennessee Titans giving the Buffalo Bills a salute following the Titans 41-17 victory. I'm not a prude, I realize that boys will be boys.However,when I look at players getting fined thousands of dollars for celebrating a touchdown, I wonder how high the penalty will be for this old man? I hate to think what Adams would have done if he lost the game.Here's the video evidence.
