Ummmm- going away song?

 All right- so my family's a bit odd, and so for their going-away shindig, my parents, aunts, uncles etc.  got together and wrote this song, which i thought i should share, because it's just so rediculous.  (it's sung to the tune of "The battle of New Orleans" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxB42cjHTGg  )

In two thousand ‘leven I took a little trip

Just as fer from my hick town as I could manage it

I took a pair ‘a sandals and I took a pair ‘a jeans

And I set out fer adventure ‘n  to find out what life means

Well . .. I . . chewed my gums and the bugs they kept a buzzin

Weren’t as many as there was a while ago

I walked downtown to see nothin’ was a happenin

Same as it’s been for as long as long as there’s been crows.  

So  I ran through the briars

And I ran through the brambles

And I ran through the bushes

Where the rabbits wouldn’t go

I ran so fast that my parents couldn’t catch me

Out of NH to a place I do not know

 

The first that I knowed it  

I seen an aeroplane

Just like in those picture books I look at when I can

It was startin up its engines and I seen this was my chance

So I hitched up my britches and up the steps I danced.

The folks on the inside were dumb but kinda sweet

They thought I’d want to leave again so tied me to my seat

When the plane it took to leavin I just couldn’t keep me still

I got to  whoopin and a hollerin until I had my fill

We’d been gone about an hour when I figured I would ask

Just where in tarnation they intended fer to pass

You can bet yer bottom dollar I nearly fell right through the floor

When they said we’d cross the puddle and land where mountains soar

After hours and hours that never seemed to end

The plane it took to landin in a place called Switzerland

They got oddly sounding people there  and lot’s a buildings too

So it sure was  reassuring fer to hear their cows say moo

I started feelin lonely and I telephoned my kin 

When I told them what had happened

They thought I’d had some gin

They said that when I sobered up

There’s chores that must be done

So I hung up on that telephone and set out for some fun.

I couldn’t talk their lingo and my money didn’t work

But I found a little  frauline with blonde hair and pretty smirk

She didn’t really want to talk and that was all ok

And I saw the sights of Switzerland just  rolling in the hay

Well . .. I . . chewed my gums and the bugs they kept a buzzin

Weren’t as many as there was a while ago

Sure is sweet being somewhere that’s different

Learnen lots a things that I never did  know. 

So I stayed a year in that land so far away

A whistling and ‘a yodelin  and visiting the hay

After that I figured that I’d really had enough

Cause  eatin  chocolate sausages  was really getting tough

I kissed my little frauline and said auf viedersen,

Time for me to go home, but I may be  back again

For now that I have learned so much and seen what must be seen

I’m thinking that Contoocook is the place for all my dreams

Well . .. I’ll . . chew my gums as the bugs they keep on buzzin

Don’t seem so bad as they was  a while ago

I get to walk downtown where nothing is happenin

Just the way it’s been ever since there was a crow.
