About Leeanndra Woeckener
Hippee! Hyah! and Weeee!
Tom Tarantula got lonely
In the desert, since the only
Thing he saw was dust and passin' brittle weeds,
So he thought he'd go out dancin'
In the hopes that some romancin'
Would appease his achin' heart and manly needs.
Though the bar he found was gritty
Tommy saw a really pretty
Young tarantula he wanted for his wife,
Standin' all alone and starin'
At him shyly when the blarin'
Sound of fiddles brought the dreary place to life.
As the singer started hootin'
Tommy T began a scootin'
'Round the dance floor yellin': "Yippee!! Hyah!! and Weeee!!"
Till some fellas started cursin'
And the crowd began dispersin'
Fearin' trouble would erupt for Tommy T!
But before a punch befell him
Tommy's sweetie rushed to tell him:
"Tommy T your dancin' caused me GREAT delight!"
So he "Yahooo'd!" leapt and kissed her,
Took her in his arms and whisked her,
Off to Vegas where he married her that night!
