Okay... This is one of those things that *seemed* like a good idea at the time. I was sitting at work yesterday, listening to my new CD - Trisha Yearwood's "Songbook" - when I heard "She's In Love With The Boy" come on. I guess I must not have been paying too much attention, because I mistook "Jonny" for "Tommy", and the rest went downhill from there! Anyway, submitted for your approval: Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, I'm just borrowing them for a little while. No money is being made, this is just for fun, okay???? Categories: M, H, J&J HR Summary: Jessie and Jonny are in love, but Race isn't so thrilled... Archivers: Go right ahead. "SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY" with a wee bit of lyrics-tampering by Susan "Suze" Howe Jessie's sittin' on the Quest's front porch Watchin' ol' Bandit run around There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight The villains have gone underground Over yonder comin' up the road On a beat-up hoverboard Her boyfriend Jonny tries to show-off for his girl But ends up trippin' on a cord Her Daddy says he ain't worth a lick When it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick But Jessie's young and, man, she just don't care She'd follow Jonny anywhere She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy And no matter what her Daddy has to say She's gonna marry that boy someday Jessie and Jonny down at Camden harbor Walkin' in moonlight by the bay They're too busy holdin' onto one another To notice Hadji slip away Later on outside the Smilin' Cow Jonny slips somethin' on her hand "My Captin' Atominizer ring will have to do 'Til I can buy a wedding band" Her Daddy says he ain't worth a lick When it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick But Jessie's young and, man, she just don't care She'd follow Jonny anywhere She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy And even if they have to run away She's gonna marry that boy someday Race waits up until half past twelve When they come sneakin' up the walk He says "Ponchita, get on up to your room While me and Junior have a talk" Benton breaks in, says "Don't lose your temper Come on just let it go Yelling at Jonny sure won't get you very far Now you know that this is so I know you've said that he ain't worth a lick When it came to brains he got the short end of the stick But, Race, they're in love, and just as plain as day They're gonna do it anyway!" She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy What's meant to be will always find a way She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy She's in love with the boy Her Daddy fine'ly gave up saying "nay" Now they're gonna be married next May! ***************************************************************** I suppose I could have been a lot crueler (or more twisted - *believe* me, I thought about it!), but I'm a J&J HR at heart, so I had go with the happy ending! Although, I think Jonny managed to come off as being pretty stupid... BTW, in case you're wondering, Camden is the town next to Rockport and, yes, there is a store called the Smiling Cow (gifts and Maine souvenirs). Also, I have to apologize to Winnie - I borrowed the Captain Atominizer ring without her permission. I'm sorry! I'll give it back, I swear!!!! And I have to really, *really* apologize to Trisha Yearwood for mangling her song!As always, comments, criticism, and feedback of any kind is always welcome.
