Que Sera, Sera

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Can't you see I'm busy? Go play in traffic or something.


Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Holy shit, you're not pregnant are you?!?

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
I am your teacher, not your mother. Stop calling me mom and go practice your spelling words.

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be

Hey Brooke! O, the co-hinky-dinks.
I just turned 40.
You're 40.
I just wrote about my love of my time as a "Jet" during a young summer theater stint.
You mentioned Officer Krupke.
You meme.
I follow your memes.
Thanks for stopping by Ashvegas! I love what you're doing here.

Hey, I'm no Doris Day fan, but I don't remember her doing those alt lyrics in concert ;-)

LOL! Hi Brookey.

Bill said...

Well, Jimmy Stewart might have a thing or two to say about those lyrics (but I think Alfred Hitchcock would enjoy them.)

Having made that oblique film reference, I wish I were a kid in school and you were my teacher. Not only would I get a great education I think I'd have a helluva time tormenting you. :-)

Seriously, I could not do that job. They'd have me trussed up on my desk with my underpants on my head in five minutes.

egan said...

I've got nothing. Que sera sera!

Fella said...

What do you mean I never visit you?

Gregg said...

Hmmm. Me thinks Brooke needs a vacation, a young hunky dude, and a stiff drink. ;-) -Gregg

Cool post, Brooke!
I think we probably have a similar sense of humor.

Calzone said...

I often cry out "mommy" when I am kicking the midget.

BamaGirl said...

good lyrics. now you just need some of those funny 50's pictures with the crass captions.

Fella said...

is kicking the midget the same thing as firing off some knuckle children?

Ubermilf said...

Sigh.

Knuckle children?

Doris would be appalled.

Scarlet Hip said...

Apparently I was having technical difficulties on my blog and nothing was showing up. The horror!!! Seems to be back in order now.

MQ - they are fun aren't they? I really do need to add some stuff there.

Ash - birds of a feather. How did you find me anyway?

Jaxe - her concerts would have been much more entertaining if she had!

Bill - that image will be forever burned into my brain whenever I see your photo.

Neil - or got chased by a hooker carrying a machete.

Egan - whatever will be!

Nick - I am so happy to see you back! Don't leave me again!

Gregg - you've only just arrived and yet you know me so well.

TRM - que sera sera!

Calzone - is that a euphemism for spanking the monkey?

Bama - I should have added more graphics dammit!

Nick - is that a euphemism for spanking the monkey?

Scarlet Hip said...

Ubie - my thoughts exactly. Doris must be rolling over in her grave.

Wait, is she dead?

Edgy Mama said...

Hey Brooke,
I'm a friend of Ash's. I saw your meme on his blog today and had a small world moment. I called him and said, "OMG. That's Brooke who flirts with Neil all the time on Citizen of the Month." So, I only know you from Neil's site, Ash only knows Neil from my site, and, ummmmm, now we kind of all know each other.

Scarlet Hip said...

Edgy Mama - I'm the Brooke that Neil flirts with!!! I don't flirt with him!

Well maybe just a little. Shhh....I fear the wrath of Sophia.

Small world!!!! Nice to meet ya!

darth said...

Scarlet Hip said...

Jacob - it warms my heart to know that you were worried about me.

lilred - you say whore like it's a bad thing. You know I love ya babe, I was only checking out her ass.

Ruben - well I'm funny and I'm disturbed...so it fits me.

Spirit Of Owl said...

That's one of the most depressing songs in the world. After Johnny Logan's "What's Another Year."

Calzone said...

I don't know...is spanking the monkey a euphemism for beating my dick like it owes me money??

Skye said...

LOL! Love it!

GingerSnaps said...

so, you love me for my sense of humor then?

Anonymous said...

Please don't say she's dead! :)

Whatever will be, will be . . . good words. :)

Anonymous said...

FYI: I'm not going to do it.

Scarlet Hip said...

Officer Krupke - thanks for dropping by.

Owl - come on admit it, you laughed.

Calzone - I was wondering if you actually spank the monkey. You two do seem inordinately close.

Sky - thank you!

lilred - and your smooth pooty of course.

Marel - now I'm afraid to actually google her and find out if she's dead of alive.

RU - good to know you are thinking with your big head and not your little one - at least this one time.

Anonymous said...

There is still a story. But I am using common sense.

Scarlet Hip said...

RU - tell me more.

Bob - where the fuck is your blog!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I'll be posting the story tonight.

Anonymous said...

Brooke, my blog lives. I had a bit of an accident (mentally) last week.

RU Serious I love that picture.

FRITZ said...

Hilarious. Hil HARRY ASS. I loved it.

kris said...

Bahha ahahahahah haaaaaa. Excellent.

I'm not tagging you, but would love to see your list of shamefully shaggables. Just saying.

Anonymous said...

"The Night Brooke's Blog Went Down" -- a night we we all remember for the rest of our lives.

Scarlet Hip said...

RU - love the story. I'm so proud of you.

Bob's back Bob's back!!!

Fritz - thank you!

Kris - I told you, I'm shamefully shallow. I only want to do beautiful boys (I'm not saying I can get them, only that I want them). But I will think about it and maybe I'll come up with someone who is not impossibly gorgeous that I would shag.

Neil - how could you possibly have noticed when you are on vacation with your wife? Perv!

Calzone said...

When I view your photo at full size I can see your nipples. I can't sleep at night anymore baby.

Scarlet Hip said...

Eat your heart out, you scaly little beast.

The Humanity Critic said...

lol I love it.

kris said...

Alright, you have bought yourself some meme tag time.

I so wish I looked like your uploaded 50s photo. Only I wish I could wash my hair every day.

Girl With An Alibi said...

LOL!
I think I will singing this new version all the way home tonight.

Fella said...

It is a euphemism for the act of onanism, brooke.

Scarlet Hip said...

Critic - thank you!

Kris - I'm working on the meme now - with a few alterations...

Girl - just TRY to get it out of your head!

Nick - you can go blind doing that ya know.

Travelin' Tracy said...

I liked this poem. Just today I was thinking, "I'm not your mom, I'm your teacher, pick up after yourself!" Thanks for making me smile.
