A Song In Tribute To All The Happy Creatures I Found When I Entered My Studio In Oaxaca, Mexico
Lyrics in celebration of what I find on my floor, wall and ceiling some afternoons when I got home and opened the front door to my studio in Oaxaca, Mexico. (Borrowed shamelessly from the song ‘Lookin’ Out My Back Door’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival.)
(And the creatures are all for real!)
Lookin’ In My Front Door lyrics-
Just got home from the tienda store, open the front door, Oh Boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on my floor
There’s a big headed ant eatin’ bread crumbs
And a cockroach playin’ that he’s dumb
Doo doo do, lookin’ in my front door
There’s a crazy lookin’ beetle, lying in a position fetal
Look at all the things that snuck under my door
Doo, doo, doo!
And there’s all the spiders, with webs just like wires
Makin’ doo, doo, doo all over my floor.
Doggies sneakin’ in, tryin’ to get some more din, din
Oh. look, they grabbed my fresh spaghetti
I’ll mince them into confetti!
They’re makin’ doo, doo, doo all over my floor!
I pay too much in rent, thereby I have to vent
But I’ll bother with it tomorrow,
Today I’ve got to shower
Doo, doo, doo, oh man I could just holler!
They think that they’re the only ones who can climb a wall
But I learned that I can do it too
And surely it will be the cause of my fall
If I live too long in this zoo
Doo, doo doo! Lookin’ in my front door!
That song’s going to be a real ear worm.
Its been in my ear off and on for 40 years now………..
Party house?
They got the WRONG place!
It was more like the monastery…….
Insects always know the party house.
