The 59th Street Bridge Song played on Pandora today
and immediately I smiled and thought of my mother (not two things that often
happen simultaneously). I don’t think
she knew any of the words except the chorus, but she was great at “ba da-da
da-da-da-da, feelin’ groovy”! I cherish
the good memories.
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feelin' groovy
Hello lampost, what'cha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feelin' groovy
I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you. All is groovy.
