Happy Valentine's Day!




A day of love! A day of heartfelt expressions! A day we pledge our undying devotion! What better time to share a song from the Marx Brothers' movie, Horse Feathers?

Everyone Says I Love You
Written by Bert Kalmar & Harry Ruby

Everyone says "I love you"
The cop on the corner
And the burglar too
The preacher in the pulpit
And the man in the pew
Says "I love you."
Everyone, no matter who,
The folks over eighty,
And the kid of two,
The captain, and the sailor,
And the rest of the crew
Says "I love you."
There are only eight little letters
On the phrase
You'll find.
But they mean a lot
More than all the other words combined!
Everywhere, the whole world through,
The king in the palace,
And the peasant too
The tiger in the jungle,
And the monkey in the zoo
Says "I love you."
The preacher in the pulpit
And the man in the man in the pew
Says "I love you."
The captain, and the sailor,
And the rest of the crew
Says "I love you."
Oooooh!
Aaaaah!
Everywhere, the whole world through,
The king in the palace
And the peasant too
The tiger in the jungle
And the monkey in the zoo
Says "I love you."

Happy Valentines Day, Ellen! Doing anything special?

Hi Rob! We recently introduced the kids to the Marx Brothers' movies, and the little one's been walking around the house singing this the past few days, so its been in my head.

The only "special" thing I'm doing today is being class mom for a second grade Valentine's Day party. How's that for romance?

And you?
