How
Do You Like Dot Now?
Words by Al, and sung to the tune of "How Do You Like Me Now?"
Yeah she was always the heavy one, the one where they poked the fun,
Sometimes she just wanted to lay down and die.
She tried to lose her weight you know,
It always would go real slow,
And then the weight came back and she’d break down and cry.
She wanted so badly to be thin and healthy,
But her will power seemed far too weak,
And then all at once she climbed up that mountain,
and now she lives on its peak. How do you like her now?
(chorus)
How do you like Dot now? Now that she’s on her way?
No one thought that she’d be -- standing here today.
Now she’s climbed the mountain, she wants you to do it too.
That’s why she made the web page, How do you like Dot now?
It started off just a little thing, an Internet iffy fling,
Never imagined it’d go half this far.
Then the restaurants and recipes
The helpful hints and niceties, they all seemed to really catch on.
Her pictures of before, and then those of after,
Showed how her weight had really gone.
The guest book was filling, the emails were thrilling,
And next thing the conference was on! How do you like Dot now?
(Repeat Chorus twice)
A
Friendship Song
Words modified by Becca, based on and sung,
to the tune of "A Friendship Song" by Chris While
I know you’re always right here beside me
When I’m in trouble you’re not far behind me
You’re the very best friends that I’ve ever had
You always greet me with a beaming smile
You never judge me, that’s not your style
You always hear me out when times get bad
I had some trouble and you pulled me through
When you’re not there, I don’t know what to do
And though we’re posting every single day
We never run out of things to say
Oh you can read my posts just like an open book
I come to you with something on my mind
You listen to me, give me precious time
And then you’ll weigh me up with that certain look
I had some trouble and you pulled me through
When you’re not there, I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to do, no
Sometimes I’m crazy and that’s no lie
You never ask me for a reason why
You make me laugh when I want to cry
Those kind of friends you know you just can’t buy
No you just can’t buy, no…ooh…
When luck is scarce, you are my four-leaved clovers
You say it never ends until it’s over
You make my spirit soar when my tide gets low
I had some trouble and you pulled me through
When you’re not there, I don’t know what to do
Sometimes I’m crazy and that’s no lie
You never ask me for a reason why
‘Cos you’re my friends, yes you are friends to me…
