Silly songs and football

It started so simply - we were watching a football game Sunday evening after church. Frankly I can't tell you who was playing, I really didn't care. I was grading papers and the rest of the family was into the game. I asked a question about a Spanish translation (Caleb and Claire are both taking Spanish), and one thing led to another. Before we knew it, Caleb was looking up the words for a silly song Dave & I used to sing as children, and we were all rolling with laughter before it was all over. The kids couldn't believe that we had such silly songs! Who won the game? I can't tell you, but what I do know is that we all shared a good laugh over a childhood memory and a YouTube video. Sometimes it's so nice to laugh and enjoy a simple evening - even if there is a football game on!

Oh Senor Don Gatto was a cat

On a high red roof Don Gatto sat He went there to read a letter meow meow meow Where the reading light was better meow meow meow Twas a love note for Don Gatto

I adore you wrote the lady cat Who was fluffy white and nice and fat There was not a sweeter kitty

meow meow meow

In the country or the city

meow meow meow

And she said she'd wed Don Gatto

Poor Don Gatto jumped so happily

He fell off the roof and broke his knee

Broke his ribs and all his whiskers

meow meow meow

And his little solar plexus meow meow meow

Aye-Karamba cried Don Gatto

Then the doctors all came on the run

Just to see if something could be done

And they held a consultation

meow meow meow

About how to save their patient

meow meow meow

How to save Senor Don Gatto

But in spite of everything they tried

Poor Senor Don Gatto up and died

And it wasn't very merry

meow meow meow

Going to the cemetery

meow meow meow

For the ending of Don Gatto

When the funeral passed the market square

Such a smell of fish was in the air

Though his burial was slated

meow meow meow

He became re-animated

meow meow meow

HE CAME BACK TO LIFE DON GATTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
