#92 I Say A Little Prayer (Aretha Franklin) ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Lyrics:
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you๐Ÿช„
Forever, and ever,
(you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(we never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(that’s how it must be to live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh๐Ÿช„
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you๐Ÿช„
Forever, and ever,
(you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(we never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(that’s how it must be To live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me๐Ÿช„
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh๐Ÿช„
Forever, and ever, ever
(you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(we never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(that’s how it must be to live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me๐Ÿช„
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe
Say you love me too
Answer it right now babe
Answer my prayer

Affordable Luxury

“Luxury need not have a price–comfort itself is luxury.”

Geoffrey Beene (American Fashion Designer; August 30th, 1924 to September 28th, 2004)

“The Universe is not stingy. We are. Some of us have very stingy souls. Perhaps not in how we treat others–our family, friends, and those less fortunate–but in how we treat ourselves. Yet how can Spirit give more to is if our fists, hearts, and minds are clenched tight?”

“Today, declare to the Universe that you are open to receiving all the abundance it’s waiting patiently to bestow. Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving. it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart.”

“I find that my ability to embrace the abundance in my life daily has unfolded greater happiness and peace in my life.”

#91 Here Comes The Judge (Shorty Long) ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Lyrics:
Hear ye, hear ye
The court’s in session
The court’s in session, now๐Ÿช„
Stop eatin’ that fudge
Cause here comes the judge
Don’t nobody buzz
Cause here comes the judge
Judge Shorty is presidin’ today
And he don’t take no stuff from nobody
No kind of way๐Ÿช„
Hey boy, take off that hat
Where do you think you’re at
I know where you gon’ be
If you don’t heed my plea
I’m here to tell you
Court’s in session
Order in the court now
Court’s in session
Can’t nobody smoke now๐Ÿช„
Here come the judge,
y’all here comes the judge
Order, order
What’s the first case on the docket
Judge I got a boy here who can’t dance
Can’t dance? Ah
Ninety days, thirty days for boogaloo
Thirty days to learn how to shing-a-ling
And thirty more for the Afro twist
Can’t dance, what is this
Court’s in session everybody quiet now
Court’s in session, here comes the judge๐Ÿช„
Is that the man?
No, your honor
Does he look like the man?
No, your Honor
Well, I’m sorry you got to go now
Ah ha you can’t recognize the man
You got to stand guilty
Ah yes, here comes the judge
They caught him stompin’ down the aisle
Yes here comes the judge
I’d rather be lost in the jungle of Brazil
Than to face the judge
This morning the way he feels
Here comes the judge boy

1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

“Cliff Robertson actually did a very good job at playing both parts of himself in this film. Even the future predictions he made for 2018 were mostly correct from the writer’s ideas in 1968. Maybe sometimes ignorance IS bliss.”
