Thank you.
Did I ever tell y'all the story about the girl that lived in the neighborhood I grew up in?
Her family was all Jehovah's Witness.
And before I go any further with this story, I don't have anything against the Jehovah's Witness.
God bless them all.
They're wonderful people.
Sometimes they're the only people that'll talk to you.
If you can't get the Jehovah's Witness to talk to you, you might want to shine up your social skills.
Anyway, when my good friend left home at the age of 18, she got a job working in a convenience store.
And after a few months of living in the real world, she learned how hard it was to pay your bills on a minimum wage paycheck.
So she came to my house one evening in tears.
She said, Paul, I can't pay my rent.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to move back in with Mom and Daddy.
What can I do to make some extra cash?
So she and I sat down.
We talked about it for a long time.
And we decided the best way for her to earn some extra money would be to become a topless dancer on the weekends.
And she did.
And this song I wrote, it tells her triumphal story of how she rose from rags to riches as Joni, the Jehovah's Witness stripper.
