She’s precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy,
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

Post in relation to this article. Ever had a commuter crush?
Rather taken with the beautiful melodies of Dan Arborise.

How many teenage girls saw this movie and wanted to be Baby Hausman? Yes the film is complete chick flick material, but it has endured in a way other films of the genre have not because it captures the fantasy of the ultimate summer romance so well.
Oh so schmooooooove
