Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy

But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night.

WOW! This is a great list.

I have often wished to know what i can sub. for the alcohol that will still

impart similar flavours. One question though- do you think that in general

the sub. value is one for one ( 1 tsp Apple brandy = 1 tsp apple juice)?

Thanks Donna- you are very thoughtful!
