Subject:Deck us all with words of Pogo From:"harold (h.o.n.) floysvik" <hal -at- BNR -dot- CA> Date:Tue, 20 Dec 1994 12:16:00 -0500
Two of my favourite quotes from POGO:
1 - "We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities"
seems so appropriate these days.
2 - The fuzzy words to Deck us all with Boughs of Holly. Pogo and his
confreres would try to remember the words but couldn't exactly .. so
they made up something that sounded sorta like the words. Some
of the lines have to be "forced" to fit the music, so practice
it first before you sing it in public. Have fun!
Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla walla, Wash., an'Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin'on the trolly,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley'garoo!
Don't we know archaic barrel,
Lullaby lilla boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolly Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hulabaloo
Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly crackers n'too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloup, 'lope with you!
Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at barrow,
Harum Scarum five alarum bug-a-loo!
Duck us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an'polly voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view haloo!
Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, Woof, Woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, Goof, Goof!
