Listen "The Weeble Song"
Episode Synopsis
This is a song about a weeble, written and sung by Rosie Waite, a friend of mine. I added accompaniment on ukuleles, swanee whistle and shaky egg.
I found the weeble image online, and added the spots. The owl call you hear is a tawny owl, and comes from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BSljsYe0To
The words are as follows:
I walked along the shore one night
asleep in deep repose
And there with the waves lapping at his toes
Stood a purple-spotted weeble
with a bright blue nose
Stand a while with me the weeble said
Please don't pass me by
Come stand with me and look with me
Let's watch the daffodils
falling from the sky
The moon rose full and orange
And shed its light across the sea
A shining path across the waves
Reaching out to weeble
and beckoning to me
We took that path that shining night
My weeble friend and I
Across the waves as pirate ships
with fiersome flags a-flying
sailed swiftly by
White owls swooping softly past
Called out hello hello
Follow that path wherever it may go
Whatever lies before us
we never really know
A few friends and I meet regularly to sing, play recorders, share songs we're writing, and to talk nonsense. In September 2019 we recorded some of our songs and put them on a CD for Rosie, who was too ill to join us at the time. Sadly Rosie died in October 2019.
