“You do something to me.
Something that simply mystifies me.
Tell me, why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live ‘neath your spell.
Do do that voodoo
That you do so well.
For you do something to me
That no one else could do!”
“You Do Something To Me”
Cole Porter
I love to pick on Bridgeport. Bridgeport, the three-legged junkyard dog barking at shadows from behind the safety of a rusty barb wire fence. Bridgeport, the wobbly one-legged drunken man on the street corner waving at every beer truck that passes by. Bridgeport, the single winged bird dangling from a dead tree branch.
