Once upon a time, Ellie was a rockstar. This explains her “harrumph” attitude, and often disgruntled demeanor. One night, Fiance and I were talking about all the monikers we have for her. And thus, a star was reborn.
(To the tune of “That’s not my name” by the Ting Tings)
Four little words just to get me along
It’s a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don’t wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider
They forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me ‘Elliekins’
They call me ‘Puppy’
They call me ‘Pup’
They call me ‘Ears’
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
They call me ‘puppykins’
But I’m a riot
Elliebelle, Puppy, Mudflaps
Always the same
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I’m the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting clamped up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time and I
Lock myself away
Listen to me, I’m not
Although I’m dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered
They forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me ‘Elliekins’
They call me ‘Puppy’
They call me ‘Pup’
They call me ‘Ears’
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
They call me ‘puppy dog’
But I’m a riot
Elliebell, Puppy, Mudflaps
Always the same
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
Are, you, calling, me, Puppykins?
Are, you, calling, me, Porkchop?
Are, you, calling, me, Puppykins?
Are, you, calling, me, Porkchop?
