(From the movie Dick Tracy, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.)
Yesterday it seemed the world was about to end, didn’t it?
Looked as though it woudln’t last out the year.
Yesterday disaster waited around the bend.
Well, my friend.
Spring is here.
Back in business, and ain’t it grand?
Let the good times roll.
Yesterday things were out of hand.
Now they’re under control.
Bye-bye blues, so long adversity.
Happiness, hello! (Hello! Hello!)
Keep the status quo
Permanently so!
Back again like a boomarang,
Same old stand,
Same old gang.
Back in business with a bang!
Let the good times roll!.
You’ve been planning that one, haven’t you. Had the lyrics typed out in a text file and everything, just ready to go.
Honestly, no, I didn’t plan it. But when I read your email telling me Alas was back online, the song popped into my head on the instant. Clearly meant to be.
“Breathless Deutsche” ?
“Ampersand Mahoney” ??
It’s just NOT WORKING FOR ME !!! :p
Yay!
Geeze. Ampersand Mahoney is the best fuckin’ gangster name I’ve heard in a long time. Especially if we’re in a Chester-Gould-Dick-Tracy-verse; imagine what his head looks like!
Breathless Deutsch is good. But not as good as Ampersand Mahoney. Damn.
Yippee! Welcome back.
Whew. I was getting tired of holding my breath.
I think I need to see kip and Amp decked out in a coupla’ of those slinky, spangly numbers like LaVern Baker used to wear, singing a “D.T.” medley at the Ambassador Lounge’s karaoke bar next Saturday.
Then, my life will at last be complete.
Keep on bloggin!
