Yesterday, I confessed how, in a fantasy, I wished I could go back in time and do whatever was necessary to join Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show. This is my audition tape, based on that famous line of theirs.

You make my pants want to get up and dance,
You make my socks rock and roll.
You make my shirt want to stand up and blurt
How much I love your voice and soul.
You make my belt feel all it felt
You make my hair fall down
You make my face, beam into space
And all my other parts run around.

I’ve been feeling down, since you’re not around.
No happy smiles are on my lips.
I wander through town, wearing a frown.
There ain’t no swing in my hips.
When you come back home and I’m not alone
My heart just beats like a band.
I’m not the same when I whisper your name.
Honey child, I’m your biggest fan.

You make my pants want to get up and dance,
You make my socks rock and roll.
You make my shirt want to stand up and blurt
How much I love your voice and soul.
You make my belt feel all it felt
You make my hair fall down
You make my face, beam into space
And all my other parts run around.
