The Singing Patient (Carla): MP3s

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

well what can i say? i just get tired of having my name butchered.

My name is Carla
It is not Darla
It is not Clara Carol Claire Marla or Starla
My middle initial is a K
It stands for Kay
But the first name is C-A-R-L-A

Carla Ulbrich
What’s in a name
A name is a name is a name is a name is a name

As for the last name here’s the hitch
It looks like it should be pronounced yule brich
But we say ole brick though there’s no ‘K’ in sight
If we were German we would say it right

Carla Ulbrich
A German name
A rose that had my name would smell the same

I was in Borders
Standing in line
A book of baby names caught my eye
Under "Carla"
It said "see Charles"
I thought it was gonna say "see Carl"

Cause that’s my dad’s name
And my granddad’s
They tried for a boy I’m the closest one they had

Under Charles
Almost uncanny
Charles’ definition is… "manly"

Carla Ulbrich
A manly name
A man is only as good as her name


My Great great grandmother
She was Deutsch
She fell in love with the stable boytch
They had a baby
He was a cute one
But the stable boy’s last name was Von Pfannekuchen

How do you spell that?!
For heavens’ sake
Translated it means "pancake"

Carla Pancake
That I could see
Pancakes are short and sweet, just like me

I’m singing a song
About my name
You must think that I am really vain
But I’m not the first one to have such a song
BINGO had one he was just a dog

C-A-R-L-A C-A-R-L-A C-A-R-L-A and Carla was her name-o
