“Nothing is like it seems, but everything is exactly like it is.”
- Yogi Berra
It's Friday and time to celebrate words well said. Lyrics worth remembering. On the lighter side today.
Two of the best to ever do it, John Prine and Todd Snider, and a newby from Birmingham, AL.
Statistician Blues/Todd Snider
They say three percent of people
Use five to six percent of their brain
Ninety-seven percent use just three percent
And the rest goes down the drain
I'll never know which one I am
But I'll betcha my last dime
Ninety-nine percent think we're three percent
One-hundred percent of the time
Shady People/Taylor Hollingsworth
With a pocket knife and a hippy van
Just rollin' the dice like a lemonade stand
Takin' advice from whoever I can
Nobody wants to help a drug dealin' man
I been a whole lotta places you'd wanna go
I met a whole lotta faces you'd wanna know
Just dumb as they come when put to the test
When Momma don't know then Momma don't stress
Grandpa Was a Carpenter/John Prine
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
He voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
Any other offerings?
