Well, this is the last part of my Tom Jones marathon. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have!
Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: WRITTEN OR SUNG BY TOM/DICK/HARRY.
Has anyone ever asked you to pick a song that is your theme tune? I have been asked that kind of question many times. Over the past ten years or so, I have chosen a song made famous by Tom Jones. I am sure you’ll know it: “She’s a Lady”.
What can I say? Well, maybe I shouldn’t! But both Goldfinch and Jack seem to have understood it clearly. They both have treated me like a princess. Which is nice. Although to be fair, I do steer clear from any one who does not seem capable of treating others with dignity. This has nothing to do with Tom Jones. I digress!
I love it when Jack (and formerly Goldfinch) takes me out for dinner. He says I have style and grace, and he thinks I’m a winner! I am his, of course I’m his! No doubt about it! I always have something nice to say, a blessing and a bonus to Jack is what I am trying to be. He knows what I have is hard to find, he doesn’t want to lose me. I know him through and through…and I love every moment with him. Woah woah woah!!
It’s another fabulous song from Tom Jones, and it makes a great way to end the day for me. My theme tune: SHE’S A LADY!!!
Well she’s all you’d ever want,
She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.
She’s got style, she’s got grace, She’s a winner.
She’s a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
Well she’s never in the way
Always something nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she’s okay alone, and there’s no messing.
She’s a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She’s a lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
Well she never asks for very much and I don’t refuse her.
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she’s got is hard to find, and I don’t want to lose her
Help me build a mountain from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey.
Well she knows what I’m about,
She can take what I dish out, and that’s not easy,
Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me.
She’s a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She’s a lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady and the lady is mine.
Yeah yeah yeah She’s a Lady
Listen to me baby, She’s a Lady
Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady
And the Lady is mine
Yeah yeah yeah She’s a Lady
Talkin about this little lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa and the lady is mine
Yeah yeah She’s a Lady
And the Lady is mine.

I had great fun with this one Jim. The truth is, I could not choose only one song. I love these three songs so much. I wanted to give them all a spin.

This song reminds me of Miss Congeniality starring Sandra Bullock. I’m sure some who are older than me might have other memories of Tom Jones because of his sex appeal. Great song choice!

It’s a while since I saw that flick, but I think I remember it was in the soundtrack.
I think Tom is great. But I can’t imagine anyone else doing what he does/did without coming across really sleazy.
