d.: I wonder how Cal.E is doing? The message she left me last night was a little confusing. I will let you listen to it and, if you can tell me where she is, please let me know.
C.: Hi, d.c. I have been letting you know where I am by changing the words to songs about Texas towns. Apparently, that is wrong. I was told, in no uncertain terms by one of the artist, that I MUST cease and desist, or he would file a lawsuit (don’t we live in America, the “land of the free,” that has, as its basis, the first amendment?) I guess “freedom of speech” does not apply to all, just those who have a certain opinion. However, THESE lawyers make “The Tuxedo” look like a pussycat! I do NOT want to anger them! Anyway, here is your clue for today.
Well, when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck, in London you're a goner. Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona; now I know why. And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is drier than the Texas sand. You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots, that I'm leavin' just as fast as I can. I want to go home with the armadillo. Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene. The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen. Well it's cold over here and I swear, I wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that English girl, I promised I would meet on the third floor? And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I got, is a smoke and a cheap guitar. My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin' to be home in a Texas bar. I want to go home with the armadillo. Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene. The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen. Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat and go down to Marble Arch Station. 'Cause when a Texan fancies he'll take his chances, chances will be taken - that's for sure. And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize that some people call manly footwear. They said you're from down South, and when you open your mouth, you always seem to put your foot there.
