Re: another couple from me

got lyrics?

You meaning for Dumarton's drums?

Yes i have them. Also on youtube there is a woman singing this song, an old movie clip, someone has added the lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q53PGmI … re=related
this is the lyrics if a woman is singing.
If you want the lyrics that a guy sings minus the last verse that the woman sings but you can by changing Johnny to Jeanie

Re: another couple from me

Thanks Badeye, Tony and southpaw


Barber? whats that ? lol
I think the last time I was at a barbers was in 1997, round about June or July when I was getting my long hair cut to my shoulders, then after 2 days I could not stand it being a mess and uncontrollable so I got it shaved to a #4. Took me months to get used to that, now any more than a #2 and I get my shaving kit out.
I tried growing it again a few months ago. I never shaved my hair for 3 months! it got to the stage where I was waking up and having to wet my hair to keep parts down, i was wakening up with horns so off it came again to the skin.
