Tales From the Scales Karaoke: "I Will Survive"

O.K., everyone...it's Tuesday karaoke. Please summon up your best Gloria Gaynor and sing along with me. (Drop the disco ball and dim the lights, please.........)

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Knew my weigh in was approaching
Time not on my side

But I spent so many nights
Eating oh so very wrong
I wasn't strong
But I guess I'll carry on

And so I'm back
On this web space
If this were done by video
You'd see a sad look on my face

I should have skipped that stupid snack
Into my hand the cookies flew
If I had known for just one second
It would cause a gain of two!

Oh but I
I will survive
As long as I have friends like you
I know I'll stay alive
I've got another week ahead
I swear my sweet tooth won't be fed
And I'll survive
I will survive............Oh..........................

Stop it! I thought the poem you left me was incredible, but the karaoke was over the top! I will giggle about this ALL DAY LONG! (and I don't think I'll be able to hear I Will Survive the same again!)

I looooove that song. Just the words alone bring back so many memories. College. Swimming at 2:00 a.m. and we had nothing to drink!! Cramming for exams. Our Woodstock stuffed bird was found hanging in his bird cage after exams first semester. Oh, I could go on and on. Love it! Thanks for the memories!

Sharon said...

You, you will survive!
As long as we continue walking weight loss will be on your side.
So think of all the times you cursed me, think of all the times you cried,
And when you get that daily phone call don't pretend you're not alive!

You know I love you!
6:15 tomorrow baby!!!!!!!!

Thea @ It's Me Vs. Me said...
