a sea chanty (for Arthur)

[fflo]

Oofty Goofty
No pudding nor pie
Up on the deck there
Before he did die

CHORUS:
Oof-it-ty
Goof-it-ty
Crazy hair-y
Crazy hair-y
char-ac-
ter

BRIDGE:
Who's that guy there
Look that guy there
There's that there guy
There's that guy there

Oofty Goofty
You’ve heard the talk
Nothin’ quite like his
Random walk

Oofty Goofty
No pudding nor pie
Up on the deck there
Before he did die

REPEAT CHORUS



(I still owe yesterday's assignment.)

Aww. That's very sweet, and it's nice to have Arthur's random walk immortalized that way.

Also, thank you very much for spelling it "chanty" and not "shanty." Not that I expected you'd go the other way, of course, but it's nice to have another tally mark on the correct side of things. (Snowpony has an album entitled Sea Shanties for Spaceships that I refuse to buy even though I loved their debut, just for that reason.)

"Shanty" makes me think of the fella's house on the beach in Local Hero.

You've seen Local Hero, I hope?

I know I watched it back in college, but I don't remember anything about it. (I remember my then-girlfriend was assigned to watch it for one of her film classes along with Being There, and the latter is the one that I was thinking of when you mentioned it. Good thing I looked it up, because I absolutely hated Being There!) I guess it's worth another look, eh?

I also disliked Being There. It was fucking boring! Or so I thought at 20.
