Vintage Fairy Tales

…………..

If it hadn’t been for cotton-eye Joe

I’d been married long time ago

His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun

But all he had come for was having some fun

He brought disaster wherever he went

The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent

They all ran away so nobody would know

And left only men cause of cotton-eye Joe ( traditional American folk song)
……….

Sisters,

don´t be afraid.

We have no Cotton-Eye Joe in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

We have The Skating Monkey instead,

and he´s not even interested in women as you may remember ?

“People are dancing

Teenagers romancing

It’s ba ba boom time, listen here

Freddie get ready

Come do the rocksteady

It’s ba ba boom time, listen here” ( Ba Ba Boom – The Jamaicans )

………

Spring is officially here,

and it´s Ba Ba Boom Time in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

-What does that mean?

Beautiful flowers,

romance in the dark and no teenagers.

…………

Enjoy the day/

“I’ve got so much honey the bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?” ( lyrics, The Temptations)

………….

My friends,

the secret is crosstraining before the afternoon tea.

Hallelujah.

………..

Have a great weekend,

Love/

Becky

…………..

In The Vintage Fairy Tales,

diabolic diseases do not exist.

Not even hiccups.

………

Have a great week and stay tuned/

“ Down in the Treme
Is me and my baby
We’re all going crazy
While jamming and having fun

Trumpet bells ringing
Bass drum is swinging
As the trombone groans
And the big horn moans
And there’s a saxophone” ( Theme song for the HBO show, Treme – John Boutté)

………..

“Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we’ve got to leave today
Just exactly where we’re going I cannot say, but we might even leave
the USA” (lyrics Canned Heat )

……….

One thing´s for sure, however,

we will never leave The Vintage Fairy Tales!

……….

Thank´s for all your lovely comments on the previous post.

………..

The Flat Monkey went to Paris

and spent most of his time visiting the various bars and restaurants.

He made some interesting acquaintances,

so he didn´t have time for counting the steps of the Eiffel Tower.

Á bientôt /

“Walked out this morning
Don’t believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I’m not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home ” (lyrics by Sting)

………..

The home is right here,

in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

…………

Have a great week and thank´s for visiting!

………

This is how we deal with winter in The Vintage Fairy Tales;

start the day with a long walk,

after that you are free to spend the rest of the day in bed.

……….

See you soon again and thank´s for all your lovely comments!

Love/

Becky
