In nearly twenty years of delivering singing telegrams, I’ve performed for thousands of recipients. And I’ve composed personalized lyrics for many, including recent customer-turned-recipient Jimmie Brown (below). Jimmie is the first recipient to wax poetic about her point-of-view experience. Behold her French-infused “Voila! It Was You” :)
You slipped in the door, I hadn’t a clue
And then when I turned — voila! it was you
With guitar and grin and jaunty beret
It’s Monsieur l’Orange, all ready to play
I sat open-jawed, with my mouth all askew
As my family high-fived at their big birthday coup
Your French serenade was la creme de la creme
With random French phrases adroitly tossed in
You strummed and you sang with gusto and mirth
And led in the toast to the day of my birth
Complete with my very own “La Vie en Rose”
With personal lyrics that you had composed
The whole celebration was tres magnifique
Pulled off with aplomb and with nary a squeak
(With one small exception and narrow escape
when 85 candles ignited the cake)
So merci beaucoup to the whole sneaky crew
My fabulous family and fabulous you
Video coming soon :)
