... and pooped in the potty. Poop poop, poopity poop!"
Oh, they just don't write lyrics like that anymore. Or wait, yes they do! Those particular lyrics were written by my friend Lily, who is just shy of three years old. They were written as part of the Treasure Mouth Children's Karaoke event on Saturday, in memory of Matthew Sperry. There was a live band improvising the music, and the kids improvised the lyrics, and I, along with my singing pals in Loretta Lynch, got to sing whatever the kids wrote. Some personal favorite lines, in addition to the brilliant musings on mouse poop, were:
"A: You're beautiful.
B: You're adorable.
C: You're a cup full of charm."
And sometimes, two words are all you need to make a song. In this case, the two words were "HOT BURP".
Also quite compelling was the line "I was born in this hole and I'll die in this hole".
Kids, gotta love 'em!
I never had the good fortune to meet Matthew Sperry personally, but he was and still is loved and dear to many people I know, and I'm sorry I never crossed paths with him. It was truly an honor to be a part of the memorial event honoring his life.
