Here’s one for you all. Culled from my Oxford Dictionary, 1998:
Dutch treat (n): a party or event where persons involved provide for themselves.
I think I waffled on the definition slightly. So look it up if it seems screwy to you!
Sorry about the double post, but the computer screwed me there for a moment.
There are a lot of “Dutch” expressions, but for some reason they all seem to be negative. Dutch Treat, Dutch courage, Dutch act, Dutch uncle…

There’s a double dutch bus comin’ down the street
Movin pretty fast
So kinda shuffle your feet
Get on the bus and pay your fare
And tell the driver that you’re
Goin’ to a Double Dutch Affair
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Well I’ll be darn here it comes
The Double Dutch Bus is on the street
You’d better get off the curb
Move your feetBus fare trans-pass
That’s the way my money lasts
Ain’t got no car to get around
When I go to work I’ve gotta go downtown
Now I’ve missed my train
That’s a darn shame
When I’m running late no sleep’s to blame
If you’ve gotta wife you know I’m right
Gotta special man well I can understand
Uptown, downtown everybody’s getting down
Say uptown say downtown
Well I’ve missed my bus I know I’m late
I’ve gotta do something I know I hate
I’m gonna walk to work fifteen blocks
I already got a hole in my socks
Go ahead and laugh that’s okay
Cause what I really wanna say
I got bad feet my corns hurt
To top it off I’m lost for work
Let me tell you what I say
When I’m dealing with the funky sidewalk
Let me show you how to walk
When I gotta do my funky walk
Let me tell you what I say
When I’m dealing with the funky sidewalk
I say sssssssss-sugar(Rep with children)
Bip, bomp, bam alakazam
But only when you’re grooving
With the Double Dutch Man
Put on your skates don’t forget your rope
Cause I know I’m gonna see you
At my Double Dutch Show
Rebecca, Lolita, Veshawn and Dawn
Everytime you do the Double Dutch you really turn it on ‘
Bilzarbra, Mitzery, Milzetty, Kilsan
Titzommy, Kitzerrance, Kilzommy that’s my man
Come on get on my Double Dutch Bus
(The Double Dutch Bus)Let me hear you say do that
(Do that)
Let me hear you say Do that again
(Do that again)
Let me hear you say do the do
Let me hear you say do the do the do
Do the do, do do do do do[/i]

You beat me to it! I was on the verge of posting this very thing last night, and I put it off!
You may have bested me *this* time, FG, but I’ve got the Deez in my corner…

What is with this song exchange thing? Who started it? Or is it some piece of message board arcana I’ve never run across before? [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

If your response to a post can be best expressed in the form of a song or poem, then by all means share! If you’re curious about a song someone has posted, there may be a chance you can find the mp3 somewhere on the internet. I’m not sure, but I think I’m the one who started posting song lyrics around here. I suppose it’s been done elsewhere, it seems natural.
