Have I mentioned that the DD is a songwriter? When she was nine or ten or so, she penned the Wal-Mart Song. While at the University of Arkansas, a friend of hers sang it with guitar accompaniment and background vocals. DD then burns it to a CD and gives it to me for my birthday. It is hysterical, and now because it is on my ipod, several of my students have heard it. I played it in class the other day, and it is almost as good as Pants on the Ground!
"People look at me and say
you're as dumb as dumb can be
but I say I'm just fun
'cause I go to Wal-Mart
People look at my parents and they say
what's the matter wit your girl today
and they say
she would have been like this anyway
cause we shop at Wal-Mart
At Wal-Mart you can buy everything on your list
and you don't have to have a list at all
no no no
you can go by the electronic department
and drive by the underwear
and I like to buy my underwear
at Wal-Mart
you can buy some underwear and buy some DVD's
and we can go back to my place and watch them all night long
and talk about our adventure
at Wal-Mart
People look at me and say you're so smart
'cause you go to Wal-Mart
What did you buy today at Wal-Mart?"
We do keep the tradition going-
Cowling, you crack me up!
