- a girl who feels like a woman, a woman who feels like a girl, who spends her time finding herself in music, conversations, books, film and certain television shows; music is my oxygen, lyrics are my language, and words can be the most magical thing there is. i am forever drawn to the ocean, and have never felt a place on earth i feel more at peace then standing on the shore.

No boxes at all Lucy.... and since you need a smile and I was relating this story to my pirate.
I found the song... Perhaps you know why I only knew certian lyrics to this song at such a tender age.
Leave to grandpa to turn a dirty song to one for his granddaughter's freckles on her nose and fanny.
And Im sure grandma Margurite still rolling in her grave spitting at the Oh my's Katie... and asking you if you've told me about the birds and the bees yet.Or better yet maybe she really knew the song and was faking it. Was a big old pop tart back in the day... and it wasn't the Sears appliance catalog that really did for her like she said but the song.
THE FRECKLE SONG
(Harry Stewart / Larry Vincent)
Larry Vincent & His Lookout Boys - 1946
Now I've got a girl that I'm just simply wild about
Folks say that I sure am a lucky boy
Well ev'rywhere we go, the folks all rave about
This pretty little bundle of joy
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
Oh she smells just like a rose
From her head down to her toes
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
(Instrumental Break)
(Yes....Well, howdy-doody, doody....Wave on, brother, yes, yes)
(Instrumental Break)
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
All the sailors give her a chase
'Cause they love her navel base
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
(Instrumental Break)
(Yes, a-rompin' and a-stompin' around now....Take it out, Eddie)
(Instrumental Break)
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She looks just like my Nelly
From her head down to her elbow
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
(Instrumental Break)
(Ah, yes, sure soundin' nice....Ain't it the truth)
(Instrumental Break)
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
In a classroom she's a loafer
But get her on a sofa
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty, yes
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She was born in Hackensack
She made a fortune on her career
She's got freckles on her but.......she's pretty

asides/ad-libs to the musicians between verses. These would not
have appeared in Larry Vincent's original version)
