This is one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time. I was sitting at work yesterday, listening to my new CD - Trisha Yearwood's "Songbook" - when I heard "She's In Love With The Boy" come on. I guess I must not have been paying too much attention, because I mistook "Jonny" for "Tommy", and the rest went downhill from there!
Anyway, submitted for your approval:

Summary: Jessie and Jonny are in love, but Race isn't so thrilled...

She's In Love With the Boy
with a wee bit of lyrics-tampering
by Susan "Suze" Howe
Jessie's sittin' on the Quest's front porch
Watchin' ol' Bandit run around
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
The villains have gone underground
Over yonder comin' up the road
On a beat-up hoverboard
Her boyfriend Jonny tries to show-off for his girl
But ends up trippin' on a cord
Her Daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick
But Jessie's young and, man, she just don't care
She'd follow Jonny anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And no matter what her Daddy has to say
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Jessie and Jonny down at Camden harbor
Walkin' in moonlight by the bay
They're too busy holdin' onto one another
To notice Hadji slip away
Later on outside the Smilin' Cow
Jonny slips somethin' on her hand
"My Captin' Atominizer ring will have to do
'Til I can buy a wedding band"
Her Daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick
But Jessie's young and, man, she just don't care
She'd follow Jonny anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Race waits up until half past twelve
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says "Ponchita, get on up to your room
While me and Junior have a talk"
Benton breaks in, says "Don't lose your temper
Come on just let it go
Yelling at Jonny sure won't get you very far
Now you know that this is so
I know you've said that he ain't worth a lick
When it came to brains he got the short end of the stick
But, Race, they're in love, and just as plain as day
They're gonna do it anyway!"
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
Her Daddy fine'ly gave up saying "nay"
Now they're gonna be married next May!
*****************************************************************
I suppose I could have been a lot crueler (or more twisted - *believe* me, I thought about it!), but I'm a J&J HR at heart, so I had go with the happy ending! Although, I think Jonny managed to come off as being pretty stupid...
BTW, in case you're wondering, Camden is the town next to Rockport and, yes, there is a store called the Smiling Cow (gifts and Maine souvenirs).
Also, I have to apologize to Winnie - I borrowed the Captain Atominizer ring without her permission. I'm sorry! I'll give it back, I swear!!!!
And I have to really, *really* apologize to Trisha Yearwood for mangling her song! < g >
