With apologies to composer Jimmy Van Heusen, lyricist Sammy Cohn, arranger Nelson Riddle, singers Frank Sinatra and Dinah Shore plus many others – and without anyone’s permission, sing along to their song Love and Marriage introduced in 1955 with my new lyrics. If you need a reminder of how the tune goes, ask Alexa or Siri or one of those wise women to play Love and Marriage by Frank Sinatra for you. They will happily oblige.
Burn Them Calories
Burn them calories, burn them calories,
Every time we walk we burn them calories.
Life was made for goood food, but food can be a bugger-roohoooo.
Burn them calories, burn them calories,
Every time we walk we burn them calories.
Walk a little faster and pounds will fall like alabaster.
Try, try, try to keep from walking, it’s a delusion.
Try, try, try and you will only come to this conclusion.
Burn them calories, burn them calories,
Every time we walk we burn them calories.
Life was made for goood food, but food can be a bugger-roohoooo.

It’s getting hot enough for pool time. 85 here today. High 70’s tomorrow.
I’m lucky Ludo and my neighbor have a thing on. Most days we walk both dogs together. It saves me 2 walks. We just take 1 long one. But the tuckered out feeling is the same!!

I wish you could come visit us this summer!! You could walk Spike – he’s the good dog – but when you get tuckered out we could get in the pool to revive!!

I didn’t have to ask Alexa. I could hear Frank puzzling through the new lyrics!! 😂
You’re cybernetic knees must be a marvel to hear you touting perambulation as a cure to pandemic pounds!!

I knew you would recognize it, Ann! I walk Spike first and then Charly – we are all tuckered out by the time we get back, but the knees are a medical marvel. Can’t wait for pool time now!
