SOGGY BOTTOM SUMMER

[Verse 1]

Barefoot with a fishin' rod

And all of my good friends

Goin' down to the water

And we're gonna hop on in

Tie us all together

Inner tubes and blow up rafts

We'll float on down the channel

Like a barge of river rats

[Chorus]

Floating down the channel

Muddy water, July sun

Just chilling in a dingy

Yeah is our idea of fun

Happy, happy, happy hanging out with all my friends

Wishing soggy bottom summers never had to end

[Verse 2]
Its a home town tradition
Long weekends in the sun
Blue Jays on the radio

Girls and trucks and mud

Pass the Old Dutch chips around

Throw some mustard on a wiener

Keep the brewskis on the down low

[Verse 3 Dean Brody and **Alan Doyle**]

We don’t mind the law enforcement

They keep us safe on beach patrol

But watch out for that new one

Named Sargent Alan Doyle

Hey boys

"What's going on?"

Sargent Doyle!

"I’m off in ten minutes, do you mind if I tie a floaty on

C’mon

I had a heck of a week here walking the beat

I can't wait for 5 o’clock

Knock back a pint of my bad-io

Hitch a ride back to this dock

But before I go I must abode the law and make a seizure

Those super-soakers, dump em out

Before I give you all misdemeanours"

I'm going through my archives to find T topics! It is also fun to document some of these places we've been.

 May 2010 - Nottingham England

The Trip to Jerusalem is the oldest pub in England. It is tucked just beneath Nottingham Castle.

It contains a Rock Lounge, carved into the sandstone rock beneath Nottingham’s famous Castle. You can have a Robin Hood ale.

A delicious lunch!

For those who don't know, Gros Morne National Park is a Canadian national park and World Heritage Site located on the west coast of Newfoundland. At 1,805 km2 (697 sq mi), it is the second largest national park in Atlantic Canada.

Its French meaning is "large mountain standing alone," or more literally "great sombre."
