Sweet Baby James ~ James Taylor

from Frankee and Johnny's

oh why are you always have to be getting us into these complicated and risky situations? I'm beginning to think ...' 'Never you fear, my love, I've got it all in hand! (which wasn't entirely true, but sitting in Frankee and Johnnie's bar I'd had a lightbulb moment). You see it's true I ordered all those burgers for the dear vicar, it was a thank you for his generous donation of all that cat litter ( blast his dastardly soul). And I was thinking of all those dear little boys, such a treat for them. But it's not my fault they caused food poisoning! And I'm certainly not paying for substandard goods. The health department need to take it up with The Greasy Spoon. As for Daddy, well...

Say a Little Prayer For Me ~ Dione Warwick

Johnnie's Liquor Store, a good place to drown my sorrows. Things hadn't been going well for me lately and a few slugs of Frankee's illicit whisky would be bound to perk me up. Several hours later I ambled home, none to steady on my pins. Rosie was waiting up for me, a look of ...

You Are My Sunshine ~ Bing Crosby

will be investigating further. As we had the incorrect name previously, we were unable to pursue complaints. However, now you have made yourself known to us, and we have your caller details, you will be receiving a visit from us shortly.' Well that just put the icing on the cake! Maybe ringing the cops ...

I Remember You ~ Nat King Cole

Rosie stood there, wet, cold and bedraggled. We had missed the last bus and been forced to hitchhike. Unfortunately, no-one stopped and we'd walked the whole way, 10 km, in the pouring rain. To add insult to injury, Betty's cake shop had been closed. 'He can call his own damned ambulance!' she cried. 'Serves him right.' The worm had turned! 'Go and have a hot shower love, get into your onsie and I'll make you a nice cuppa.' For all today's misfortunes, I felt that at last ...

One Love ~ Bob Marley and the Wailers

off, straight back to the bordello and into the arms of Madame Legs, for all we knew. As you might expect, I was not happy. 'What a bloody cheek! That's the last time I rescue your blighted father from anywhere!' 'Daddy's obviously not himself, we must be patient with him.' Any vestige of patience I had left for anything, completely disappeared when I realised I'd left my wallet in the car and we had absolutely no money for a bus fare. 'So what do you suggest we do now?' I snapped.

Taking a Chance On Love ~ Anne Shelton

let you know. I didn't want to upset you, darling.' 'Surely there's been some mistake! Dear Daddy would never be seen in a house of ill repute. He must have entered the wrong premises by accident and he was just giving the lady a friendly hug when she gave him directions. You know how affectionate Daddy is.' I can't say it's a side of his nature that's ever been evident to me, but now wasn't the time, perhaps, to bring that up. 'We must go and rescue Daddy immediately, bring the cheque book, we may need to ...

headed. How I'm supposed to survive on only one burger, heavens only knows. It's cruelty by starvation, that's what it is. They only agreed to feed me when I pleaded and begged them and admitted I was guilty. Of course I'm not, but a man can't go nearly four hours with only a cup of tea and a few biscuits! I ask you! Anyway, can you come and get me?' 'Daddy! I didn't know you'd been arrested! Nobody told me! Why has nobody told me?' Rosie turned a look of pure accusation on me. 'Well, darling, it's like this ...

Would I Lie To You ~ Eurythmics

arriving with my team today at ...' 'Sorry, wrong number!' and Maggie hung up. That should be the last I hear from her, one problem solved. Now to sort out the half tonne of cat litter blocking our front door, which the steady pouring rain had swollen to twice its size and weight. Wait until I get my hands on that Victor Cross, preferably round his skinny little neck, he'd ...
