Welcome to the Friday Random Ten, my weekly post in which I list an assortment of Choons spewed forth at random from the Little White Choon-Box. “Blogging Without the Brainpower!”
Spring seems to have finally come to Atlanta just before its formal arrival date. It’s a bright, sunny day, the trees are in bud, and the temperature is expected to sneak past 70°F. And I’m in here like a dolt, sitting in front of the damned computer...
...but the Mistress of Sarcasm is home for a visit (primarily to do a couple of laundry loads, but I’ll take what I can get!), so it’s really a pleasant day overall. And did I mention that it’s Friday?
Let’s see what’s playing this week:

There once was a boy who lived all alone by the sea
He was a charmer, a charmer of highest degree
But he was lonely and sometimes there was no one to charm
So this clever boy had a way to charm himself - he meant no harm
He’d dance and sing and laugh and smile
And after a while he’d roll right on the ground
He’d sing his song all day long -
Had no words, just this crazy sound...
Called the Laughing Song (all day long)
Called the Laughing Song (all day long)
Called the Laughing Song, all day long
The Laughing Song, he’d laugh, he’d laugh, he’d laugh
Ha ha ha - he’d laugh, he’d laugh
There were days when this boy was so wound up
He’d practically laugh his head off
Dancing and singing and giggling and wiggling
He got so silly, he could hardly let off
On one such day, a ship came by
And, to its surprise, heard the funny noise
The captain noticed the giggling swimmer and with a laugh cried,
“Look at that boy!”
When, in the middle of a backstroke, the boy noticed the ship
He laughed even more
And soon all the crew couldn’t help themselves -
They were rolling on the floor.
Called the Laughing Song (all day long)
Called the Laughing Song (all day long)
Called the Laughing Song, he’d laugh all day long
Laugh la la la la lala la
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
Ho ho ho
The boy heard the crew say,
“You’re a secret charm - come with us, you’ll be a star!”
So off he went with the ship
Back to his native land, which wasn’t far
While rehearsing his act he made the grandiose mistake
Of living with his long-lost uncles
Could you blame them for wondering about a nephew
Who just couldn’t seem to lose the chuckles
But his song went on and on and on
And that’s about all he had to say
His uncles did not realize the wrong they did
When they had him put away
Called the Laughing Song (all day long)
Called the Laughing Song (all day long)
Called the Laughing Song, he’d laugh, he’d laugh, he’d laugh
Ha ha ha
Oh, he’s laughing...
Ha ha
Hee hee
Ha ha ha ha ha ho ho ho... - Club Limbo - Squirrel Nut Zippers
