One of my many
amazing talents is my ability to sing the wrong words to any given
song,
and to do so often times in the wrong key...even when I am holding the
song book.
When I do this (normally, 'loud and proud') my supportive wife often
laughs at me. However, there are times when she
looks at me with a looks that says (read: screams) "OK, you can stop
that now." She does this without missing a word,
skipping a note, or missing a key. We are an
amazing couple!
With my fore mentioned talent in mind, you will understand that when I
found this list I had to pass it along to you.
There is little doubt that I will be heard singing these words (not
always intentionally) in the very near future. If
you are lucky, I will even be in fine form and proper pitch when you
have the pleasure of my serenade. But until then,
and without further ado....
