First of May

[ximinez]

Somebody celebrate for us, because this house sure ain't in the mood...

I woke up this morning
I had a scone and a large house blend
And then a little conversation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends
I said I’m sick and tired of winter
And I wish that it was spring
And then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast
Began to sing

And he sang
Ooh ooh child, what’d you think the cold winter’s gonna last forever?
Ooh ooh child, now’s the time for all the people to get together
Outside

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside

I thanked him for the information
I cried a little when he flew away
I watched an episode of The People’s Court
And I tried to plan my day
I called up my old lady
She wasn’t home so I called my girl
I asked her if she’d like to join me as I
Entertain the world

And I said
Ooh ooh child, I’ll bring a blanket and I promise I will brush the ants off
Ooh ooh child, you’re gonna like it when we’re taking each other’s pants off
Outside

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside

So we went to the park together
We were walking in the midday sun
We met all kinds of people and we
We fucked everyone
We fucked a lady who sells ice cream
We fucked a man with a tan Shar Pei
Everyone who needed fucking well they
They got fucked today

So come on
Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your heart, feel the spirit moving through you
Ooh ooh child, you’ll feel the warmth of the love when I stick it to you
Outside

Cause it’s the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water’s not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I’ll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside

now, that is a poem!

so, did you say that your new house has a fenced backyard?

[ximinez]

Yes, it most certainly does, but between worrying about Spot, and being pissed at Anna (woke in the middle of the night complaining of an earache, started playing with trying-to-sleep Mom after getting ibuprofen, started screaming when Mom left her alone to try to get some sleep), and vast quantities of smoke coming down from a massive fire in Georgia, I don't think we're going to be taking advantage of it - today.

Ok, that was hilarious....and good advice.

Unfortunately we have no fence, so we will have to rain check.

Sorry about Spot, hope things get better for you.

Dana

[ximinez]

Yeah, but you've got a pool!

Thanks for sharing that, lmao. Dana and I will have to celebrate indoors.

There's another vid of that song floating round the tube:

Along with two of my fav JoCo classics Skullcrusher Mountain:

So indoors, outdoors here's to f-ing fucking;)

There used to be a great machinisma version of First of May shot inside WoW which was very amusing. Partly because of the recurring dwarf chasing a sheep theme. ;) I can't find it anymore - it's probably been taken down for the use of WoW.

TIMMAH!

Glad it's still around. I remember JoCo bemoaning his fan-made vids getting purged. At one point nearly half of my fav list was deleted and nearly half my friends had their accounts suspended.

Corporate bastards.

i'm becoming a convert. i played that song for my mom yesterday (i tried to send it to my step-dad but i suspect it got ganked by the spam filter. he never gets any email i send him). and i enjoy running around singing "all i want to do is eat your brains" to the kids :).

[ximinez]

Wow. Your relationship with your mother is so much better than mine...
