Muskrat Love

I need help around the house sometimes doing the things that Harry just can't do anymore. James is my help. He's a young man from my church that we have know since he was born. We were coming home from the hardware store the other day and on the radio this song came on. So the part in the song came on (I think it is around the 3 minute mark) where the animal noises are playing. He was like, "what the heck is that? it sounds like aliens or something" So I try and explain that it is Muskrats. I just couldn't quit laughing. Do you realise how stupid that song is? Why do I know all the words? That's just not right! What were the Captain and Tenille thinking?? What do you think?
Good Monday Morning to ya!

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight

Doin' the town and doin' it right

In the evenin'

It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam

Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land

And they shimmy

And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled

and they tangoed

Singin' and jingin' the jango

Floatin' like the heavens above

It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon,

chewin' on cheese

Sammy says to Susie

"Honey, would you please be my missus?"

And she say yes With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy

Rubbin' her toes

Muzzle to muzzle,

now anything goes

As they wriggle,

and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled

and they tangoed

Singin' and jingin' the jango

Floatin' like the heavens above

It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...

You're right that is a silly song but I know all of the words to it too. We have it on an America CD. A.J. and I were listening to the 70's station on the satellite radio Saturday evening and I forget what song came on and we got into a conversation about some of the really stupid songs in the 70's.

Guess each generation has it's silly songs that one knows all the words to - such as "Abba Dabba Honneymoon" which I know all the words to and tune and have shared with my children and taught to my grands. Makes life less serious and gives pleasure to remember...(o; lol!
