Firecrackers

Firecrackers will ever crack, 
And you will always have my back. 
Do you think, when we took that car,
We might have gone a bit too far? 
I don't think when you drove that loop, 
We went too far with the coupe. 
Anyway, there's no way to prove -
You see, the tires did not move. 
We need not be doing time -
Dancing to Dorsey is no crime.
Tires not moving, it was hearsay -
No crime to dance to Jimmy Dorsey.
I could say the very same
Of dancing to Harry James.
I like Glen Miller! D'ya know a
Place we can do the Balboa?
Country bike rides, sharing clothes -
What wonderful times were those!
We shared them with our kid brother 
Who hit one pitch after another.
Just three kids out in the sticks - 
Edie, Esther, Buddy Hicks.
