I am surprised the Doodle song isn't on the major works list for Sarah Vaughan. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/vaughan_s.html In cleaning up I came across a pad that looked like it was full of notes from At work that I almost tossed. Then I looked at the flip side and discovered why I saved it. I had scrawled my version of the Doodle song after being inspired by my lovely girls one morning. Here they are: Woke up this morning Gave kids the warnin Bus would be leavin So no more sleepin
The one gal got dressed, Then to my distress I caught her doodlin Had to srip her down to wash away the evidence of dooling away For you see her scrawls this time weren't on walls But pretty flowers on her ankles and colorful trees adorned both her knees Got her all dressed and clean back in routine after doodlin away
Then went to my room where put on my shoes Came out to find her once again doodlin This time I stripped her Gave her one spankin Before the scrub down Once again blue ink was swirlin down the drain All that remained from her doodlin away She seemed so surprised And was so angry That I would hurt her With that one spankin But we still made it to the school on time I've learned to drop her Off even cryin much to my distess as the school mistress values being on time more than peace of mind Time can be measured and its by that tool that those at the school wish to judge parents When school was over, and we arrived home opened the car door to find more doodles from sibling's noodles donning their pale skin with lovely tatoos Joyfully beamin laughin in complete delight as they'd been doodling away Later that evenin opened my e-mail there was a letter talkin of doodlin remindin us how it helps solve the minds troubles So I thought of my daughters testing the waters To see if their hot Or if they are not Knowing they wade in deeper than they need Just to be sure that someone will pull them Back to shore where they are happy and loved and where its safe to doodle away So I decided not to be rid of every pen and marker but keep them under lock and key to be handed out by me and got Magic Erasers with which to scrub walls wish I could also wipe out all their fears Instead I let them play a bit every day and have lots of paper on which they doodle away
