Lyrics

Old TK stories told over and over deserve to be jingle-ized by REALLY OLD cheesy songs, so say I. Kjerstin just killed it, as always. Thanks, KJ!

The Morning After (Maureen McGovern)

The possum’s gone the morning after
Should not have left him over night
He was not dead, just taking “down time”
To bury him would not be right

So, he’d not gone to the hereafter
The possum’s trick he did perform
Oh can’t you hear the possum’s laughter
Waiting in that trash can, safe and warm?

We were too late, but it’s still living
Mike, grab the shovel for next time….(fade)

    This song actually won the Oscar for Best Song of the Year in The Poseidon Adventure. And yet, somehow, it did not have a possum. Now, that's been corrected.
