I want you to do something for me. I promise there are no Space Pirates involved this time. You see, at Chez Beaufoix today we are having a sing song. We are having a sing song because I have some good news and am choosing to reveal it through the medium of music and verse. I’m not saying it’s good verse, and you may not think it is particularly good music, but ah well, you love me right? Just a little bit?
So, indulge me. Click play and join in, but with the following lyrics…
I have a car, fo lee fo laa
Now I can drive, both near and far
I can go to Skeggy, if I feel the urge
Or nip down to Tesco, if I want to splurge,
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
Cos’ one found some lovely wheels for me
I have a car, fo lee fo laa
I have a car, so say ta ta
To having to, rely on Ma
And my destination, will be up to me
Cos’ I’ll be the driver, we’ll pop round for tea
I belieeeeeeeeeve in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
Cos’ one found some lovely wheels for me
I have a car, fo li fo laa
I have a car, oh tra la laaaa
(Get your kids to join in here if you want it to be really realistic)
I have a car, fo lee fo laa
Now I can drive, both near and far
I can go to Skeggy, if I feel the urge
Or nip down to Tesco, if I want to splurge,
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
Cos’ one found some lovely wheels for me
I have a car, fo lee fo laa
A lovely car, oh laa di daaaaa
(And all bow)

I wish you lived next door. We’d have such a laugh. And of course if you did live next door, you wouldn’t even need a car.
What colour is it?
And since we’re doing Abba favourites, is it a mini metro? If so, you could do that to the tune of Mamma Mia.

Just so you know, Jo, that my Mom played ABBA all the time while we were cleaning the house, and every time I hear it I taste Lemon Pledge. Yech.
But, I am so glad you have a car
Go you

Now you just need to train the girls to clean it!
Go girl!

And I take it it’s not green?

Lovely song – your version, that is!
June 25th, 2009 at 5:15 am
Fab! Glad it’s not just us that changes the words to songs to suit our circumstances!
June 25th, 2009 at 6:45 am
Oh yes, I forgot to ask, Jo, what color is the car? Is it a cute little red one? Don’t tell me it’s green, because you don’t like green cars.

That was quick .. what did you get?
June 25th, 2009 at 9:59 am
I love making up new lyrics for songs. Great post. Hope you didn’t have to spend too much “Money, money, money”. (Sorry)
June 25th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Yay! So happy for you!
And now I want to go watch Mama Mia . . .

OMG! I did laugh – fabulous!

Thanks everybody. I am so excited. I drive round in it like I am the Queen. Except the Quen without a chauffeur. And the Queen without a hat. And younger. And with gerbils instead of corgis. ANd…ack you know what I meant.
