Today is Cheese Weasel Day!

And April is National Poetry Month. The following song lyric has a little to do with that and nothing to do with the date.

I really need to find a recording of this.

Where There's a Whip, There's a Way

(©music by Maury Laws, lyrics by Jules Bass 1980)

Where there's a whip, there's a way.
Where there's a whip, there's a way.
We don't wanna go to war today,
But the lord of the lash says nay, nay, nay!
We're gonna march all day, all day, all day,
Cause where there's a whip, there's a way.

Where there's a whip, there's a way. (3x)
Left, right, left, right, left
Where there's a whip, there's a way.
Left, right

A crack on the back says we're gonna fight.
We're gonna march all day and night
And more, for we are the slaves of the Dark Lord's war.
Left, right, left, right, left,

Where there's a whip, there's a way.
Where there's a whip, there's a way.
We don't wanna go to war today,
But the lord of the lash says nay, nay, nay!
We're gonna march all day, all day, all day,
Cause where there's a whip, there's a way.
Left, right, left, right, left, right (5x)

You are too good to me. *hugs you gratefully*

Oh, that trippy Rankin Bass animation...

Dammit, earworm.

Never forgot that after that aired on tv first time, our junior high choir sang it the next day.

Ever since you told me this that I keep thinking of it, and giggling, and thinking of it, and giggling...

Is it wrong that my reaction to "the lord of the lash says 'nay, nay nay'" was, "did they ask him to go into rehab?"
