April in October

(12) Comments


For reasons long since obscured by the mists of time, Fabulon is haunted by the presence of a certain April Ames. She is forever hovering in the periphery, ready for her close-up, waiting for her come-back. And perhaps that is her ultimate destiny, to be a has-been who never really was. Her smoky voice and come-hither eyes, long the staple of late-night lounges and truckstops the world over, were never meant for the mainstream. Hence her cult following, a following that is largely Fabulon-based and has never actually heard her.

Now, by popular demand, Miss Ames returns. Below are the lyrics to her new single, soon to be covered by no less than Amy Winehouse.


~IS HE FROM GABON?~

Is he from Gabon?
I really need to know.
Is he from Gabon?
The guy scored me some blow.
Now I need a toot, so tell me
Is he, is he from Gabon?

Is he from Gabon?
He had some awesome hash.
Is he from Gabon?
If so, he owes me cash.
I could use a hit, so tell me
Is he, is he from Gabon?

There was a time
When roses bloomed,
and nothing could go wrong.
Now, it's a crime,
we all are doomed,
and I can't find my bong.

So tell me...

Is he from Gabon?
That dirty, rotten fink.
Is he from Gabon?
'Cause I could use a drink.
Soon he will be gone, so tell me
Is he, is he from Gabon?

I hear she played Hidey the Salami with a man from Gabon. Allegedly.

How could you call APRIL AMES a hasbeen? Show some class. Miss Janey is right, you are just asking for trouble. When you wake up with a knife where your wienie use to be, don't say I didn't warn you. In fact, don't mention my name at all.

That bitch scares me.

Do you think she will grace us with another epistle????

I so enjoyed the last one but I'll need a lot more for "The collected Letters of April Ames" I am working on.

It’s not a confirmed sighting but someone calling herself April Ames was recently announced over the PA system as being “Lost” at the elderly and Alzheimer lost and found station at the Missouri State Fair. She looked a little disheveled but I’m certain it was her. She was in a corner alone striking matches.
