They Can't Take Maddaway From Me


Love song for Maddy Caven, 1997-2013 ~ apologies/gratitude to George & Ira Gershwin



There are many, many crazy things
That we’ll always love about you,
And with your permission
May I list a few?


The way you’d get the cat.
The way you’d run so free.
The memory of all that -
No, no - they can't take that away from me.




The way you’d fill the bed.
The way we fixed your knee.
The way you’d shake and shed.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.




We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road of life
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of...




The way you filled my lap (do-do-do-do do-do).
The way you’d lick your pee.
The way you changed our life.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.


No, they can't take that away from me.

I was with you right up to "licked your pee."

Sorry about that. But it rhymed and it's true. I took the good with the gross.
