about
a tale of desire with a retro swing
lyrics
___________________________________________
SURELY, SHIRLEY
He’s going crazy
slowly but surely and
Shirley’s the reason why
He wants to tell that girl
with the curls how he feels
oh but he’s way too shy
Surely, Shirley
Surely, Shirley
Surely, Shirley will love him truly someday
He gets kind of swirly,
like a hurly burley
every time he sees her walk by
He can’t say a word to that bird he adores
‘cause his tongue is tied
Surely, Shirley
Surely, Shirley
Surely, Shirley will love him truly someday
He’s going crazy
slowly but surely and
Shirley’s the reason why
But maybe today he will say ”Hey, babe!”
and Shirley will stop and say “Hi”
Surely, Shirley
Surely, Shirley
Surely, Shirley will love him truly someday
Surely, Shirley

about
the Mad Maggies California
The Mad Maggies play genre fluid, mostly original, mostly danceable music with a dash of hot pepper and a swig of
slivovitz -- they kick up some dust.
They are available to play private parties, large festivals & everything else in between.

Rebecca Richman
by Rebecca RichmanSoul-filled fiddling by an elusive, super-talented artist. This is great "trad" with tasteful guitar and keyboard accompaniment. "Sunday River Waltz" will make you teary-eyed.
