the new prince of raleigh

This post is in honor of the best sitcom theme song ever written.  You know which one I mean.

Enjoy.  :-)

Now this is the story all about how

My life got fun; play, nap, then chow

And I’d like to take a minute, just stay real jolly

I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a big town called Raleigh

Just west of DC I’ve spent most of my prime

On the playground is where I’d be found ‘til bedtime.

Then one day last week I heard “c’mon Ash, let’s go”

I packed up my toys and waved bye-bye daddy-o

We jumped in the car and cruised down 95

To Grammy and PopPop’s  - yo folks, I’ve arrived!

Since then my days are spent

Living large like a gent

Chillin’ out, snackin’

relaxin' by the pool

Shooting some b-ball outside ‘til preschool

When a couple of shoes, they were up to no good

Started causin' me to stumble through my childhood

A knee got one little scrape and my Mom got scared

And said, “we'd better head back north, so go get prepared”

Well, things are much too fun so I can’t go back home

This town is where I’m livin’ large and found my shalom.

I whistled for a ride and a wagon came near

License plate said “Ash” and had a chair in the rear

I hopped on aboard and asked PopPop to pull

He and Grammy love me lots and keep the cookie jar full.

I looked at my kingdom, from my custom ridin’ trolley,

To sit on my throne as the new prince of Raleigh.

{ha ha, we're having a TON of fun, if you couldn't tell}
