Friday is open mic night at the Cow!
Daghie's behind the drums, Theoden's on bass, Mauer's behind the keyboard and he's got his harp handy, I got my telecaster.
Here we go boys!
Here's a song about my college days. Yeah, that's a long time ago... last century. We'd drive up to College Park, Maryland from Annapolis for a real party. I drove a '73 Dodge Dart we called the Gray Whale and we'd cram about eight people into that thing. We used to go to this pub called The Rendezvous. There was so much muck on the floor you would wear the worst shoes you owned. We called 'em "Vous Shoes"
On a spring day, back in eighty-one
Throw the boys in the Whale, we’re gonna have some fun
It was a seventy-three Dart, with a one ninety-eight
When you stepped on the gas, it might accelerate
Headin’ west on fifty, then up the beltway
Put on your Vous shoes boys, it’s time to play
Steppin’ into the stink, steppin’ into the goo.
Beer, girls and tunes, it’s called the Rendezvous
Put on your Vous shoos - Headin’ out to Terp Town
Put on your Vous shoes - There’s a party goin’ down
Put on your Vous shoes - We’re gonna scream and yell
Put on your Vous shoes - We’re gonna raise some hell
Put on your Vous shoes - Come on boys
Put on your Vous shoes
Not a fancy place, but it’s not quite a shack
If your Mama walked in, she’d have a heart attack
There’s beer and sweat, plus a little spew
Wear your worst shoes, you gotta walk in the goo
It’s a crowded little pub called the Rendezvous
There’ll be some frat boys there, thinkin’ they’re real cool
Some Greek girls too, but ‘tween you and me
None of these folks will be a Ph.D
Put on your Vous shoos - Headin’ out to Terp Town
Put on your Vous shoes - There’s a party goin’ down
Put on your Vous shoes - We’re gonna scream and yell
Put on your Vous shoes - We’re gonna raise some hell
Put on your Vous shoes - Come on boys
Put on your Vous shoes
Watch out
He’s turnin’ green
He’s gonna blow
She’s gonna scream
She’s Linda Blair
On the movie screen
Don’t sit in your room, on a Saturday night,
Put on your Vous shoes, things’ll be alright
Don’t tell me you got something else to do
Hop in your car and head down to the Vous.
Put on your Vous shoos - Headin’ out to Terp Town
Put on your Vous shoes - There’s a party goin’ down
Put on your Vous shoes - We’re gonna scream and yell
Put on your Vous shoes - We’re gonna raise some hell
Put on your Vous shoes - Come on boys
Put on your Vous shoes
