Splish, splash, I was takinÂ’ a bath
Long about a Monday night
A rub dub, just relaxinÂ’ in the tub
ThinkinÂ’ everything was alright
When what to my ears did I hear?
CominÂ’ down the track in the rain?
YellinÂ’ come on, Bertie, is party time
Why, itÂ’s the tea partiers on the birdbrain train
Well, I stepped out of the tub
I put my feet on the floor
I shook my tail feathers
and I headed for the door
There I saw da Mudder
ReelinÂ’ with the feelinÂ’
MovinÂ’ and a-groovinÂ’
A-wheelinÂ’ and a-dealinÂ’, yeah
Bing, bang, I saw the whole gang
Headed for Californ-iiii-aaaaa
Flip, flop they wuz doinÂ’ the bop
In celebration of momÂ’s 75th birthday
I began a-rollin' and a-strollin'
reelin' with the feelin'
movin' and a-groovin'
splishin' and a-splashin', yeah!
Hey, tea partiers! Are you a-movin' and a-groovin' this fine Tuesday? Be sure to check out Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday story in the challenges forum and come on board the Birdbrain Train where you're guaranteed to have lots of fun!
My bird and flowers were colored with Twinkling H20s; the center of the flowers and dots on the bird's shower cap were colored with pretty purple Smooch Broom sent to me (thanks, Hilda!); the bird bath was paper-pieced with SU dp; the sky was watercolored with bashful blue; and the grass and flower stems were colored with reinkers and blender pen. I applied Lavender glitter to my faux brads (1/4" circle punch).
I split up the birthday sentiment "Happy Bird-day to you" from Love Ya Bunches with a marker. The "to you" is stamped on a smaller circle and applied to the inside of the card.
Hope to see you at da tea party today! Bertie is movin' and a-groovin' to the tunes and flingin' soap bubbles today, so you're guaranteed not to get hurt or dirty!
