Grab a pack of cigarettes, and meet me on the porch


A view up my back passage today... [click to embiggen]

It's been a gorgeous Spring day in London, and I have spent hours in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers pottering, splitting-up herbaceous plants, and generally basking in the sunshine.

Bliss.

My day was mainly accompanied by the mellow joys of BBC Radio 2 - but, surprisingly enough, this one - a recent triumphal "find" by Madam Arcati - was not on their playlist!

Can't imagine why...

Brenda, put your bra on, there's trouble next door
Grab a pack of cigarettes, and meet me on the porch
Marvin baby mama 'bout to catch him with a whore
Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)

I knew she shouldn't let that bitch watch her baby
I used to work with her at the Krystal
She always got them good shifts just 'cause she had good tits
And cut her shirts off at the middle

Brenda, put your bra on, it's just gettin' good
Shit's goin' down in the trailer-hood
Pants 'round his ankles, still sportin' wood

Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)

Well, did you hear that? There went the good dishes
I hope they don't knock out the cable
Ol' Suntan City won't look quite as pretty
When Gina puts that ass through a table

Brenda, put your bra on, there's trouble next door
Grab a pack of cigarettes and meet me on the porch
Marvin baby mama, put that whore on the floor

Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
Put it on
Put it on, shit

Brenda, put your bra on, here comes Channel Four
We ain't never been on the TV before
Grab the marijuana, stick it down your drawers

Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
Brenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
Brenda, put your bra on

A classic.

I love it!

  1. Oh my god, this is the best thing I’ve heard in a good long time. And their delivery was perfection.

  2. I used to be called Pillbox Maddie back in the day! Love to song though not familiar with it. I was out a bit, sunny, but to many gales, what with all the rain this week. I plan to plant the wildflower garden tomorrow...a new addition. Over a hundred seeds, with a myrid of different flowers. Fingers crossed......

    1. I thought of you when I first heard this one/saw the video:
      "Pam Demic, put your bra on, it's just gettin' good
      Shit's goin' down in the trailer-hood!"


      It is definitely the busiest season of the year for the garden - and I am so thankful it's decent weather, so all the jobs can be tackled enjoyably (unlike April last year, which was miserable). Jx

      PS One valuable tip from dear Monty Don and Gardeners' World about wildflower gardens - never feed the soil. Wild flowers thrive better without it...

  3. OMG! That was hilarious!! It's too rainy here for any gardening today, so I watched Monty's show that I missed yesterday! Your garden looks lovely, sweetpea!

  4. As a southern boy who grew up adjacent to the trailer hood, I feel like I know each and every one of those women. Poor Gina.
