Do you guys know that Sheryl Crow song that goes "are you strong enough to be my man?" Well, when you are pregnant and trying to get dressed in the morning, that song can easily become "are you long enough to be my shirt?"
God, I feel like hell today
Why won't work just go away?
Have to go, can't look like dirt
Are you long enough to be my shirt?
Lie to me
I promise I'll go shopping
Lie to me
Say your buttons aren't popping
I have a belly I cannot show
Make the fashion rules up as I go
It's stretch to fit me, it won't hurt
Are you long enough to be my shirt?
Hey, you people are lucky. Lima Bean had to listen to this live.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we all want some audio to back that up though. :)

That's hilarious. I would definitely love to hear it.

I loved that song the first time around! Your version is much more applicable I think. Thanks for the laugh, at your expense unfortunately!

Posted by Luna | March 24, 2005 10:08 AM

That's hilarious. I was thinking the exact same thing this morning - except I wasn't creative enough to come up with the Crow connection.
Posted by Kelly | March 24, 2005 10:12 AM
I think I like it better than the original. Hee!

Awesome! I love it!

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you the next Weird Al.. only she's not REALLY weird and her name isn't Al.. ;)

Hey Beth, it is she-of-the-same-due-date. I bit the bullet yesterday and went out and purchased 4 maternity garments [2 dresses, a blouse and a skirt].
I too got fed up getting dressed in the morning! I guess you can say I've finally hit the Big Time! ;-)

Well, it's good to prepare her early for a lifetime of listening to you making up songs. It's not fair to spring that on a newborn.

Yeah, I looked for the "play" button everywhere, but alas, no audio. Thats a lucky lima bean to have her mommy sing for her!
Posted by alfredsmom | March 24, 2005 11:36 AM

Posted by kat | March 24, 2005 1:39 PM
LMAO! That was hilarious!
Posted by groovebunny | March 24, 2005 1:41 PM
LOL! Damn funny, Beth! Time for a shopping trip I think. :D

Dammit! WHERE IS THAT AUDIOBLOG POST????
Someone needs to sit Chris down and have a serious talk about having you taped.
Posted by Queen of Ass | March 24, 2005 3:44 PM
I loathe Sheryl Crow...but you know..thanks to you. That song is TOTALLY stuck in my head.
I hate you.
Is you shirt on the RIGHT way today?
heee.
Posted by Pamalamadingdong | March 24, 2005 4:39 PM
LOVE IT!!
Posted by wavybrains | March 24, 2005 5:31 PM
Okay now that one should be put in an audio blog!!!
Posted by Nina | March 24, 2005 8:28 PM
Hee, now that's funny.
Posted by Sheryl | March 24, 2005 9:07 PM
LOL - I here you! Tonight I had a girls night out, I tried to put on this cute little going out top from pre-pregnancy that had some extra space below the cleavage so I figured it would accomodate my belly - I even grossed myself out when I put it on - what the hell was I thinking? I must get Cosmo Boy to take a picture and I'll share it with you. You never realize how big you've gotten until you try to put something on that you haven't worn in a while...
Posted by Marie | March 24, 2005 10:19 PM
At least you're singing...as opposed to vomiting, as I was when in your condition.
Posted by aussieshiraz | March 24, 2005 10:57 PM
LOL!! I was singing along in my head with you!! Can't wait for the cd release date!!
Posted by tracy | March 24, 2005 11:55 PM
Yeah, that's gonna have to go on your CD.
Posted by smartjuice | March 25, 2005 3:38 AM
LOL! That just made my day. =P
Posted by Jennie | March 25, 2005 4:22 AM
Well, I bet you look just adorable. And if not, at least it's for a really good cause.
Posted by cassie-b | March 25, 2005 8:52 AM
Hee Hee, I just wanted to say that I read this last night but didn't comment because pretty much everyone else expressed my sentiments in their comments. However, I STILL have that song (not necessarily with your new and improved words) in my head this morning. It's still here, now, as I type. Hahahahaha. Thought you should know. ;)
Posted by Kate | March 25, 2005 11:29 AM
LOL
Can we get a 'live' recording of that for ourselves?! I would love to hear it! ;-)
Posted by Jade | March 25, 2005 12:29 PM
I must say, I'm a wee bit jealous of the Beanette.
Posted by Dawnie | March 25, 2005 1:00 PM
i think you just ruined my favorite sheryl crow song.
still, it's impressive ;)
Posted by laura | March 25, 2005 3:29 PM
Audioblog. I'll only ask one more time, but it would be SO awesome...
Posted by alektra | March 25, 2005 5:31 PM
ROFL!
Posted by Rhodent | March 26, 2005 10:19 AM
Let me just say I love you, because that? Was hilarious.
