Cal.E's Korner



We're caught in a trap

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Why can't you see

What you're doing to me

When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together

With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)

And we can't build our dreams

On suspicious minds

So if an old friend I know

Stops by to say hello

Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again

Asking where I've been

You can't see the tears are real, I'm crying

(Yes I'm crying)

We can't go on together

With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)

And we can't build our dreams

On suspicious minds

Oh, let our love survive

I'll dry the tears from your eyes

Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know I've never lied to you

Mmm, yeah, yeah

We're caught in a trap

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Why can't you see

What you're doing to me

When you don't believe a word I say?

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I can't walk out

Because I love you too much, baby

Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

Suspicious Minds lyrics © Sony/atv Songs Llc


And that was Suspicious Minds, by Elvis Presley here at WELV, Tupelo Mississippi. All Elvis Music, all the time, because we love our native son, Elvis Presley.



d.: Well, that’s enough Elvis music for a while. Twenty-two straight hours of “All Elvis music all the time” is enough even for me. That is why I got satellite radio, though, so I could listen to this station (besides the fact that it’s one of only two stations I know how to access on this satellite radio system). I think I’ll turn on the boob tube now while I eat my green leafy vegetables. I’m even going to eat them for my breakfast this morning, because this is the healthiest thing one can eat.

Oh, wow! What I just saw on television is very disturbing. I must call Cal.E. immediately to tell her what I saw. (ring) 


This is Calculating Einstein Katt, the smartest, prettiest, and now one of the richest cats on this planet, since I married Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken. He’s a meowioniare, so, now, I am, too. Leave a message at the beep and I’ll get back to you unless I don’t want to. (beep).


d.: (Well, it’s ten a.m., and Cal.E. doesn’t usually get up for a couple of more hours I’ll just leave a brief message-since I’m in my briefs-heehee) and turn my ringer on my phone on. “Cal.E., it’s me, d.c. scot, nurse, author and lyricist, as well as your best human friend on this or any other planet. Call me back as quickly as you can. (ring). 

“That was fast, Cal.E., were you monitoring your phone?”



C.: Yes, and, since you said to call you back as quickly as I could, I punched redial with the speed of a cheetah. Now, why did you so rudely disturb my mid-morning cat nap? I hope that it’s important!


d.: Mucho muy importante!


C.: Que?


d.: Well, as I was watching the late mid-morning show, after I watched the early morning and really early morning show, right before the early afternoon news, I saw a band made up of criminals who called themselves OCDC, the name of Ralph’s new band. It seems as if they stole the name from Obnoxious, Cantankerous, Destructive Cats. I decided to call you immediately (right after I ate breakfast, took a shower, called my mom and loaded the dishwasher).




C.: d.c., would the name of the band be “Obsessive Compulsive Deranged Criminals”?



d.: Yes, how did you know that?


C.: That’s what one may call Ralph’s band’s parent band. It’s made up of inmates from  the mental health branch of The Kennel. They were each given a musical instrument and a cat to take care of. The Kennel’s administration thought that having something to do, besides banging their heads on a wall, and something to take care of would help them with their behavior problems, and it worked.



d.: Well, they were really good playing that one chord over and over for the whole five minutes they were on the show.


C.: Yes, you must not be the only one that thought they were good. They were booked on the mid-morning show and Ralph’s band has been asked to take the CONVERSE tour, like my old band, The RoCKats.



d.: Do you mean that they’re playing Conroe, Orange, Victoria, Eagle Lake, Rosharon, Sealy and East Bernard?


C.: Correct. Ralph’s band has hit the big time!


d.: Hey, Cal.E., what ever happened with your band, The RoCKats?



C.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.



When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town

Down around San Antone

And the folks are risin' for another day

'Round about their homes

The people of the town are strange

And they're proud of where they came

Well, you talkin' 'bout the China Grove (talkin' 'bout the China Grove)

Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Grove

Well, the preacher and the teacher

Lord, they're a caution

They are the talk of the town

When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'

When the sun goes fallin' down

They say that the father's insane

And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game

Well, talkin' 'bout the China Grove (talkin' 'bout the China Grove)

Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Grove

But every day there's a new thing comin'

The ways of an oriental view

The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords

You can even hear the music at night

And though it's a part of the Lone Star State

People don't seem to care

They just keep on lookin' to the east

Talkin' 'bout the China Grove (talkin' 'bout the China Grove)

Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Grove
