We Interrupt This Blog...

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing. ~William James

DD has fallen in love with "Enchanted" and we borrowed the soundtrack from the library. Is it warped of me that I LOVE this one best?



Check out the lyrics:

Come my little friends
As we all sing a happy little working song
Merry little voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up
So that we can pitch in
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen
As we sing along

And you’ll trill a cheery tune in the tub
As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain
Lug a hairball from the shower drain
To the gay refrain
Of a happy working song

We’ll keep singing without fail
Otherwise we’d spoil it
Hosing down the garbage pail
And scrubbing up the toilet
Ooh!

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little
La-da-da-dum-dum
While we’re emptying the vacu-um
It’s such fun to hum
A happy working song
Oo-ooh
A happy working song

Oh, how strange a place to be
Till Edward comes for me
My heart is sighing
Still, as long as I am here
I guess a new experience
Could be worth trying
Hey! Keep drying!

You could do a lot when you got
Such a happy little tune to hum
While you’re sponging up the soapy scum
We adore each filthy chore
That we determine
So friends even though you’re vermin
We’re a happy working song

Singing as we fetch the detergent box
Or the smelly shirts and the stinky socks
Sing along
If you cannot sing then hum along
As we’re finishing our happy working song!

We'll return to our regularly scheduled blog post tomorrow :-)

This was a cute scene.

I love that movie. Of course I prefer the scene where she and Robert dance together, but that's just me. I really like the working song too.

Enjoy the warm day!

I thought that scene was terrific, very clever. But I'm with Ceri, loved the dance best.

And SQUEEEE! You're reading my book!!!!

I LOVE Enchanted and The Working Song! Almost as good as How Does She Know?

Hmmm, I think I have time for a movie tonight....
