Dedicate a song to CaliforniaPeggy. Here's mine.

[liberaltrucker]

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California girls

The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island
Dolls by a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States
Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California girls

What's your's???

:hi:

3. Mamas and the Papas

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day

5. Done by the Grateful Dead, also by Simon & Garfunkle, also by Bob Dylan

Well, as we marched down, as we marched down
Well, as we marched down to Fennerio'
Well, our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O

Well, what will your mother say, what will your mother say
What will your mother say, Pretty Peggy-O
What will your mother say to know you're going away
You're never, never, never coming back-io ?

Come a-running down your stairs
Come a-running down your stairs
Come a-running down your stairs, Pretty Peggy-O
Come a-running down your stairs
Combing back your yellow hair
You're the prettiest darned girl I ever seen-io.

The lieutenant he has gone
The lieutenant he has gone
The lieutenant he has gone, Pretty Peggy-O
The lieutenant he has gone, long gone
He's a-riding down in Texas with the rodeo.

Well, our captain he is dead, our captain he is dead
Our captain he is dead, Pretty Peggy-O
Well, our captain he is dead, died for a maid
He's buried somewhere in Louisiana-O.

11. From my youth - Ridgetop

well I live on a 'ridgetop' and Lord knows I like it just fine...
where it's windy and foggy and quiet most all the time...
yeah my 'lawn' is pine needles and my driveway is ole funky dirt
and my front pathway markers are pieces of granite and chirt
now My taxes are high but I don't believe it's a SIN...no
I've got 100-foot pine trees that just love to dance in the wind...
and the yard full of bushes that turn into pies in July
between blue-jays and hoot-owls, I've got 24-hours singing SKY

now when I built my house I cut '6'-trees to clear out the land
but there's 30 or more left and YOU know that they're going to stand
it's a 'Squirrel Sanctuary' and they think this woods is their home...
and as long as I'm here, I'll make sure people leave us ALL alone...yeah!

Yes the hill that I live on is steep and the road's full of ruts
and the people who live in the 'Valley' think we folks are 'nuts'!
but the ruts in my road and the curves keep the 'tourists' at bay
and it's lonesome and peaceful and YOU know I like it that 'way'
now I work in the 'City' and I think my 'Job' is a gas...
and I know it's good for me to travel and get off my ASS!
but the very best parts of each trip o'er the 'Golden Gate Bridge'...
and the road like a 'Snake' pathway lead me back HOME to my 'ridge'!

aaaaaaaaah, I LIVE on a 'ridgetop'
yes...I 'live' on a 'ridgetop' and I like it, and I like it, and I like it just fine.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear Ptah.......

These are lovely lyrics......thank you! :loveya: :hug:

[Ptah]

17. I was flirting with someone else,

but your name popped up.

How could I resist.

I would like to tell you about the connection I made with my youth today on DU,
but it would take too long.

Suffice it to say, I was transported back in time three decades.

I LOVE DU!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. "Good morning, Starshine"

:hi:

Good morning starshine
The earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

Good morning starshine
You lead us along
My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Gliddy glub gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba
Nooby abba nabba
Le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla
Nooby abba naba
Early morning singing song

Good morning starshine
The earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

Good morning starshine
You lead us along
My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Gliddy glub gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba
Nooby abba nabba
Le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla
Nooby abba naba
Early morning singing song

Singing a song
Humming a song

Loving a song
Laughing a song
Singing a song
Sing the song
Song song song sing
Sing sing sing sing song
