In the foyer while my music played at the Spanish school mentioned few posts back in Oaxaca, Messsyko and everyone was dancing up a storm, it was not hard to notice that although the fox teacher (in her mid twenties) was dancing in her chair, she was not getting up to dance. Javier (my hep playboy Spanish teaacher) had already told Big Joe, "forgeddabout her, she turns everyone down flat out and has been single for 2 years, you'll be wasting your time"
When I walked up to where she was sitting alone, she offered no smile although she knew I was a student there. I just sat there and looked at her for an entire minute and got her really uncomfortable and she blurted out disgustedly, "Que quieres?" I didn't say nothin, but instead got out my pen and paper and wrote down this and handed it to her -
She read it and looked at me but said nothin. I got up and went to the center of the floor and danced tothe song playing. We played the song 4 time one after the other, it was so stupendous.
She got up off the table and came to me to dance. That was it! Javier said later to me, "Joe you did the impossible, I am impressed!"
All I wrote was ...............................
Sometime I in Brooklyn sometimes I in Queens
Sometimes I gone down to Manhattan to check out the scene
Well I'm always keeping on the move, I love to roam
So I want the ladies to know its hard to find me at home
So if you want to find Big Joe, meet me on the Parkway
You're likely to see me in that area,
from 10 to 10 I can see anybody, I want them know I'm ready like Freddy.
So meet me on the Parkway
I wake in the morning, I leaving the house
I don't know what time in the evening I'll be coming back
So you see it don't make any sense for you to call
You'll just be wasting your time
I'm hardly ever at home at all
So meet me on the Parkway.
If you miss the train you can get Bus 44
So if you're interested to catch up with me
Darling, I'll be delighted to make you so happy
But remember you must do just what I say
So follow the route and meet on the Parkway
Often at around 6 PM you'll find me at Charlies's for some fine salads
Then off to Sylvia's for some outstanding Rice with prawn curry
Yeah who can miss the fine cheesecake at Neena's home, so private
To top it off, some stunning liqueurs at Babe Rosalind's place (private)
