[intro starts with Guitar rift, lead-in] [Whistling a happy tune] [Leave plenty of space between each line for the next line to land] So, I was living in Northern Virginia A suburb of Washington DC Great neighborhood [Whistling a happy tune] Gorgeous Maple trees Beautiful reds, golds and oranges [Whistling a happy tune] Walking trails, to die for Lakes scattered throughout [Whistling a happy tune] Got the picture? [Whistling a happy tune] Was walking my dog Met some new neighbors Hank & Lisa [Whistling a happy tune] We became best buds More than 20 years later And five hours apart We still connect, weekly [Whistling a happy tune] Now, Lisa is a peach and Hank Well, Hank is another story … Hank is a character, to be sure [low chuckling] I used to own a school [Whistling a happy tune] One time, I mentioned to Lisa That I was making some brochures Lisa said that they had a trifold machine That I could borrow, if I needed I said I’d be OK, but changed my mind [Whistling a happy tune] Called and left a message And, wouldn’t you know, Hank called back [Whistling a happy tune] Said, [In a VERY TWANKY sounding voice] “ This is Acme Folding Machine Company” “And, I understand you need a foldin’ machine” [Whistling a happy tune] “ WELL, they are in VERY high demand!” “ I guess, I could let you have one overnight” “Cost ya’ fifty dollars … it would” “Of course you’d have to have it back, “First thing tomorrow mornin’ “ “ ‘cause they’re in VERY high demand!” [Whistling a happy tune] Kept that message on my answering machine As LOOONG, as I possibly could [Whistling a happy tune] Then, my daughter says, I know how we can get him back Let’s call him up and pretend we’re the IRS Whoo-wee !!! That was the definite, “Noooo !!!” That was the definite, “Noooo !!!” That was the definite, “Noooo !!!” [Chuckling] [Whistling a happy tune] Whoo-wee !!! Whoo-wee !!! [Backup singers] Whoo-wee !!! [Backup singers] [Spoken] Disclaimer: Any similarity to ANY Acme Folding Machine Company, is purely coincidental Dear IRS, Please excuse my daughter. She was just a babe, in Elementary School, at the time. [Whistling a happy tune] [Outro ends with Guitar rift and a final whooping …] Whoo-wee !!!
