The Monday Morning Memo


Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes,
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ’em roll away again, yeah

I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco bay
I’ve had nothing to live for
Looks like nothin’s gonna come my way

So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time

Look like nothing’s gonna change.
Everything still remains the same.
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same.

Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone.
It’s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home.

Now, I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time

Random Quote:

“The job of a Wizard of Ads writer is to extract true stories from clients, and then tell those stories in such a way that causes the public to immediately think of that person – and feel good about them – when they need what that person sells. These customer-bonding ads don’t seek to sell the product directly. Instead, they bond the hearts of the public to the client. A reader, listener, or viewer reads, hears, or sees this series of ads and thinks, ‘Wow! You, too? I thought I was the only one.’

Customer-bonding is a long-term strategy that always works, and it is cumulative; meaning it works better and better the longer you continue it. But it requires an ongoing series of bonding ads (mingled with ads for sales activation) that air 52 weeks a year, forever. Customer-bonding isn’t a gimmick. It is a lifestyle. “
