Ask and you shall receive!

Jayne!
The Man they call Jayne!

He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.

Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'.
He saw the mudders' lament.
And he saw the Magistrate takin'
every dollar and leavin' five cents.
So he said: "You can't do that to my people."
He said "You can't crush them under your heel."
So Jayne strapped on his hat
and in 5 seconds flat
stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal.

He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.

Now here is what separates heroes
from common folk like you and I.
The man they call Jayne
he turned 'round his plane
and let that money hit sky.

He dropped it onto our houses
he dropped it into our yards.
The man they called Jayne
he stole away our pain
and headed out for the stars!

(Here we go!)

He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.

You're quite welcome, and thanks for the promotion to peach. I'm trying to work my way up to being a box of strawberries.

So true, so true....I think bein a tomboy is way better than being a girly-girl anyway.

Down with dresses and up with...well, anything else! (esp. combat boots!)

Ick, dating. It's a distant memory, thank goodness. Hoping to get married in early March...think it would be funny if I got some saki and made a flower wreath for my man...he'd get a kick outta that.

That'd be hi-larious! Then he finds you in his car..."I gotta wife?"

My friend and I don't want to, but we'll humor her...

Can anyone tell me the "Fruity Oaty Bar" Lyrics? Thanks :)

--------------------------------------------------

I am 94% Like River Tam

The Fugitive. You are clever and dangerous, which is a nasty combination.
The fact you are crazy too just adds to your charm.
They did bad things to you, but you know their secrets.
They will regret how they made you.

Off the top of my head, might not be 100% accurate:

Fruity Oaty Bars
make a man out of a mouse

Fruity Oaty Bars
make you bust out of your blouse

Eat 'em all the time
Let 'em blow your mind

?

Fruity Oaty Bars

THANKS! I was singing it all the time, but didn't know those two lines:

"Eat 'em all the time
Let 'em blow your mind"

Thanks a LOT!

I've been asking about that Chinese bit for a couple of months now. PLEASE if anyone figures it out TELL US!!! (I listen to the FOB jingle several times a day...it makes my husband and co-workers batty!!) I would very much like it to be what plays when my alarm goes off...but that might be pushing my luck.

Oh, and my cat's name is Jayne. I sing the Hero of Canton to him regularly. (With "cat" inserted for "man") He likes it.

I've been sane a long while now, and change is good...
