                                                   The Latest Craze
-lyrics/backer -Tommy Knox

I  Must tell you all a story
It's the latest craze
that's doing the rounds  on these summer days
The yuppies hippies and the rockers too
Everyone's into knitting 
Mrs ---I tell you its true

Chorus
2 plain 2 purl
Oops -----man I dropped a stitch
I tell you when this life
Gets to be a bit of a bitch
You can do it in the buses
On the trains or in the car
Or even when your drinking
Down in the local bar.

Well a fella down our way
He knit himself a mat.
While Joe the old hippy
Made a coat for his cat
Now Billy is knitting sox in boxes by the dozen
While Harry's making jocks for his
Japanese cousin.

Ch

2 plain 2 purl
Oops ----man I dropped a stitch
Life can be so tedious
It can be a bit of a bitch
You can do it on the buses
Trains or in the car
Or even when your drinking
Down at the local bar

-Ch
2 plain 2 purl
Ooops -I dropped a stitch
Tell you man this knitting
Could somehow make us rich
You can do it on the buses
Trains or in the car
Or even when your drinkin
Down at the local bar
 

thanks for listening

This is great Tommy...I love it! What a fun song and adding all those voices had to take some time to make them come out as well as they did. Tons of fun....now where did I put my knitting needles?

I'm back.....and to pull off that Irish accent as well as you did takes talent! (an American joke  ). Did I say I love this song? I do!

I closed my eyes while listening to this and I swear it sounded like something the Irish Rovers would do. Really excellent job, great performance Tommy.

[Hilary]

Oh Fenderbender what a genius you are, you are

[launched]

Awww yeah, that was a hoot, Tommy! A lot of work must have been put into this one, and it paid off in spades - Great sound!

Love it!

Tommy I honestly suspect you are as mad as a hatter! Wonderful song! And loved the 'funky gibbon' ending! I am going to have another listen to the lyrics as I got alot of 'diddlyIdedoo's' . Your vox is so distinctive, so do you have any Irish relatives?

wonderful

Oh man - this is soooo good. This put a real smile on my face - ear to ear. Mind you, I went to a catholic school in North London, I could have grown up in Dublin - its was pretty much an Irish school with a few Italians thrown in for good measure I learned to drink Guinness way before I'd ever heard of larger.

So all together now - diderly-ida-ay

Bloody magic - I would pay money to come a see this, and I'd bet I wouldn't be able to see straight at the end of the evening - let alone walk   !
