Although it’s only half a mile away, You’ll note it’s raining cats and dogs, And I left my boots at Jimmy’s, And you know Dad said, “You really shouldn’t drive that car In the rain, with the brakes so low.” On the other hand… You and Dad go on and on How T.V. rots your brain, But who could read on a crummy Day like this. And so, I guess my situation’s plain: Wet feet or mushy brain. A mushy brain’s not cool. I’m nobody’s fool. So get the blue umbrella ‘Cause I’m gettin’ me to school.

There must have been a faulty value somewhere the day these two were breathing in the air. Anesthesia, anethesia. The very word will soothe ya and then seize ya.

You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. lyrics/credits Once upon a time, A Pittsburgh boy met a New York girl And Cupid, he got wise. Swiftly there was love in their eyes. Destined as a rhyme, That Pittsburgh boy and that New York girl Would share a wedding blintz, And what a yarn they’ve spun, ever since! They start out in Seattle working hard to guarantee Fewer folks are sick, and more kids are smart. And on their way to Steel Town, she not only learns to ski, But pioneers the field of black and blue as body art. Two would soon be five: Our Pittsburgh boy and our New York girl Add three cubs to their pride, Plus a gal with wings he sees on the side. Does that family thrive? With an anesthesiologist And composer in its ranks. And discounts on Heinz catsup…Steven, thanks! But even with the countless grateful patients he’s made well, And congregants she’s found a new home address, The only time our humble heroes’ heads begin to swell Is when you ask about a certain Sarah, Alex and Jess. Once upon a time, A Pittsburgh boy met a New York girl, They wished upon a star, And fifty swell years later, here we are. So lift a glass, and toast a golden love that’s in its prime, A splendid love more lustrous than a pearl. To think that it all started back when once upon a time, A Pittsburgh boy, a Pittsburgh boy, met a New York girl.
