	It's a romantic full moon, when Bill said, "Hey, Anne, let's do Weeweechu." "Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Anne. " Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Bill begged. "But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Anne. "Please, sweetheart, just once, do Weeweechu with me." Anne looked at Bill and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu." Bill grabbed his guitar and they both sang..... "Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year." MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!  |
