....and now I'm GLAD nobody sang in my house in the morning!
I'm good, as long as it's not "Rock-a-bye baby." The baby FALLS OUT OF THE TREE. That's not right.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Also, I plan on singing my children murder ballads during their formative years. "Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?/ Shot through the heart, lying full on the ground."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm sure at one point I knew the words to all of them, since I was a counselor for a couple of years and led more singalongs than I could possibly count...
My co-worker has been playing streaming BBC radio, and today's selection was a segment of nothing but showtunes. I disgraced myself by knowing -- and singing -- all the words to "Almost Like Being in Love" from Brigadoon.
But, dude -- we did it in high school -- those lyrics are burned on my brain!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Neither of my parents sang very much, due to sever lack of ability. There was lots of music in the house, though. Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Clancy Bros., Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, etc.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Singing mothers: My mom sang this little ditty to me and my brother when we were kids (and now she's singing it to her granddaughter, who is just fascinated by it):
Down in the meadow in an itty bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Purses: I recently bought this Coach purse: [link] I loves it lots.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's what Kristen Hersh does. And she put an album like that, titled something like Murder, Mayhem and Goodnight. That's Emmett's favorite version of "All The Pretty Little Horses."

I can't even.
Actually, I think it might be "The One."
Yup, the 1992 album. After he had entered his decline phase (to steal a term from sabermetrics).

GC, my grandmother sang that to me all the time as well!
