The Return of "Carefree Birthday"
 
Since iI don't want to take more than one turn on the thread
where we're wishing Gordon a happy upcoming birthday,I decided
to bring back something I did a few years ago near his birthday. (I think it was in 2004?)

Anyhow,that thread is MIA (even checked Wayback archives),so to the best of
my memory,I'm going to re-post (or in this case re-write) the lyrics to .....

"Carefree Birthday". :) :

Listenin' to my GL,on the stereo in my backroom,
lookin' up I notice the date on my wall calender.
The month's eleven and the date is seventeen,
Lightfoot's turning 75 and we know it's for sure...

Carefree Birthday. He and we have so much to do.
Carefree birthday. Let's have cake and ice cream too.
The party's underway,for our main man's birthday!
Carefree birthday,may we see the best,the best day for you.

Now we've got our toes to tappin' and we'll dance the night away,
with the ladies of the site and they with the gentlemen.
So fun was this date but it's getting late and I Charlene say,
hey,Borderstone,you're lookin' strong....please help we wake up Floarian!"

Carefree Birthday. He and we have so much to do.
Carefree birthday. Let's have cake and ice cream too.
The party's underway,for our main man's birthday!
Carefree birthday,may we see the best,the best day for you.

Hope you all liked that. :) Whew! haven;t done that in awhile. :eek:

I could only actually recall most of the chourus and the ending line.


Happy 75th Gordon.
