Waking in the round
Saturday, March 19th, 2011 07:53 amIt's bad enough to wake up with one earworm. This morning, I have three.
Let's sing rounds!
¡Fray Felipe!¡Fray Felipe!
¿Duermes tú? ¿Duermes tú?
Tocan las campanas, Tocan las campanas
Tan, tan tan. Tan, tan, tan
Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines!
Ding, dang, dong. Ding, dang, dong.
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John,
Morning bells are ringing, Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, dang, dong, Ding, dang, dong.
Let's sing rounds!
¡Fray Felipe!¡Fray Felipe!
¿Duermes tú? ¿Duermes tú?
Tocan las campanas, Tocan las campanas
Tan, tan tan. Tan, tan, tan
Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines!
Ding, dang, dong. Ding, dang, dong.
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John,
Morning bells are ringing, Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, dang, dong, Ding, dang, dong.

we'd just come back to the States when Dad retired from the State
Dept, but MAN...my parents were folkies and they didn't mind rock,
they would have listened to this stuff.
Feeling like she's discovered a treasure trove

I also like -- well, best not to get started. If you're just discovering the depth of Warren Zevon's work, you're in for all kinds of treats.
