National “I Love Lucy” Day - October 15th.

iu
 
I loved watching I Love Lucy but there was one problem. My Mom was very strict, and my bedtime was 8:15 pm. The show came on at 8pm so we had to miss the last 15 minutes of the show. I tried to stall but I never won. My Dad would always be on my side but Mom was very strict and he couldn't win either.

My sister and I used to watch Lucy reruns that came on after Captain Kangaroo. We were living in Germany and the TV shows available in English were selected by the Armed Forces somehow. Thank heavens they also had Yogi Bear. Later, when we moved to the US, we watched Lucy during regular tv hours, at night.

Oh Ricky, you're so fine
You play your bongos all the time
Hey Ricky, hey Ricky
Oh Lucy, you're so fine
How I love to hear you whine
Hey Lucy
Hey Ricky
You always play your conga drums, you think you got the right
You wake up little Ricky in the middle of the night
Stop shakin' your maraccas now and just turn out the light Ricky
I'm sick of Fred and Ethel always coming over here
'Cause Fred eats all our pretzel sticks and then he spills his beer
Why don't you serve your casserole and make them disappear Lucy
Oh Ricky, what's a girl like me supposed to do?
You really drive me wild when you sing your babalooo
Oh Lucy, you're so dizzy, don't you have a clue
Well, here's to you Lucy
I love you too Lucy, too Lucy, let's babaloo Lucy

Lucy was one funny lady. I've re-watched some of those episodes and laughed again. The part she played belied what a beauty she was.
