Barbara Ann

Hey there folks.  Several people had asked to hear my version of Barbara Ann written for the Alumni Luncheon presentation for Barbara Holmes, so here it is.  As "Heart to Heart and Hand to Hand" is all Katie singing (the doubling and harmonies were all her) so are all the parts on this song me.  I did all of the vocal and instrumental parts although I do not consider myself to be much of a singer and my falsetto voice sounds like a mix of JoAnn Worley and Mickey Mouse.  This was intended to be background for what I would have been singing live, so while the lead part is present in the song, it is back pretty far in the mix.  The Lyrics are below:

Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann.  Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, I’m such a fan. Barbara Ann
She’s always talking bout the Jobies, Talking with a feeling
Barbara Ann Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann

Thinking might hard, ‘bout this award
Saw Barbara Ann, knew that it was in the cards
For Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann, She's our Barbara Ann
Spread the news, now have you heard it, Barbra sure deserves it
Barbara Ann Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann

Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann.  Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Give her a hand. Barbara Ann
She’s always working with the Jobies, Helping with the meetings
Barbara Ann Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann

Piano Solo

Tries something new, She’s there for you
Never feeling blue ‘cause you know that wouldn’t do for
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann.  She's our Barbara Ann
Well she helps throughout the year with a smile from ear to ear
Barbara Ann Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann

Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann.  Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Fairest in the land. Barbara Ann
She’s always helping out the Jobies, knowing what they’re needin’
Barbara Ann Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann

Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
You got me singing like a dove ‘cause everybody loves our
Barbara Ann Ba Ba Ba Barbara Ann
