#atozchallenge – X Marks the Spot

/ emmalmoore / 1 Comment

X is the mark that decorates test or homework papers. X usually means there are wrong answers or assignments are not correct.

Red is the color of the dreaded X. The paper grader makes sure you see your mistakes with the bright red staring at you making it known.

No one wants big fat red X’s on their papers. Well, they need to study harder and pick the right answer.

NO MORE X’s, NO RED X’s!

Wade In The Water – Negro Spiritual

Wade in the water

Wade in the water, children,

Wade in the water

God’s a-going to trouble the water

See that host all dressed in white

God’s a-going to trouble the water

The leader looks like the Israelite

God’s a-going to trouble the water

See that band all dressed in red

God’s a-going to trouble the water

Looks like the band that Moses led

God’s a-going to trouble the water

Look over yonder, what do you see?

God’s a-going to trouble the water

The Holy Ghost a-coming on me

God’s a-going to trouble the water

If you don’t believe I’ve been redeemed

God’s a-going to trouble the water

Just follow me down to the Jordan’s stream

God’s a-going to trouble the water

#atozchallenge -“Viva Las Vegas”

“Viva Las Vegas”  Elvis Presley

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Gonna set my soul on fire

Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,

So get those stakes up higher

There’s a thousand pretty women waitin’ out there

And they’re all livin’ the devil may care

And I’m just the devil with love to spare, so

Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more

Than the twenty-four hours in the day

Even if there were forty more

I wouldn’t sleep a minute away

Oh, there’s black jack and poker and the roulette wheel

A fortune won and lost on ev’ry deal

All you need’s a strong heart and a nerve of steel

Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin’

And your one arm bandits crashin’

All those hopes down the drain

Viva Las Vegas turnin’ day into nighttime

Turnin’ night into daytime

If you see it once

You’ll never be the same again

I’m gonna keep on the run

I’m gonna have me some fun

If it costs me my very last dime

If I wind up broke up well

I’ll always remember that I had a swingin’ time

I’m gonna give it ev’rything I’ve got

Lady luck please let the dice stay hot

Let me shoot a seven with ev’ry shot, ah

Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,

Viva Las Vegas, viva, viva Las Vegas

Las Vegas here I come—to bowl in a tournament
