	No, not a contest.
	These days, what with
		- the internet
		- punctilious if not trigger-happy music journalists
		- hooligan fans
		- killjoys by disposition
	... well, let's just say we've learned our lesson, it's crazy anymore to hinge anything of actual value on a game of information that can go bust so quick and so bad.

	So instead, perhaps some of you can just have a little MadLibs fun with a few "Circus Money" lyrics, and your imagination.

Words or phrases in red, and all blanks ( _____ )
come from the "Circus Money" lyrics, in no particular order.

G I R L S G O T O T H E S E A

Betsy Button was running late.
She was off to spend a day at the beach
with her old friend Audrey Jean Regan.

She stuffed her duffle quickly.
Sunscreen? Yep. _____ towel ? Check.
She packed up the Dylan and the _____ and the _____.

She eyed the undone items on her to-do list:
she needs 3 _____ , 3 _____ , 3 _____ , 3 _____ ---
But she would have to do without them.

Betsy was good at doing without.
As she pulled onto the street she wondered:
who will render my _____ _____?

* * * * *

She took the freeway through the endless sprawl.
This old town goes on and on, she thought.
She was cut off at her exit by
some guy driving a _____ _____

* * * * *

Arriving at the beach, Betsy was relieved to see that
Audrey had left her _____ Irish Setter dog at home.

They settled down in a spot by the concession stand
at the foot of _____ Street .

After a bit, Betsy asked: "How was your date
with that selfish Gene?"

"His name wasn't Gene," Audrey said,
"_____ was his name-o"

"We didn't have an atom of chemistry" she continued.
"In fact, I think he's nothing but a half-crazed _____ fool."

Audrey had been rummaging through her bag and,
finally pulling out a _____ _____ , took a mighty huff.

"I had him on the balls of his ass at one point"
Audrey resumed, growing agitated,
"but Gene don't lick no _____ ,
if you know what I mean".

Then she wailed to the sky:
"Why must every time I turn my _____ around,
some bastard come and _____ my _____ _____?!

More self-pity. Listen friend, this is no damn picnic,
Betsy thought, but decided to let it go.

So she said only this:
"Modern Love: it's a real good theory, but give me
a date with _____ any day".

* * * * *

And so the afternoon wore on,
glowing like a _____ in the _____.

"Look at that sand castle over there" Betsy said.
It sort of looks like a permanent picture of your _____ in cement

* * * * *

After a bit, Betsy suggested packing it in, and Audrey agreed, saying,
"You know it's time to go when the sky is turning _____
and _____ over. "

Besides, neither one of them had any desire to
watch some hobo take a _____ _____

But Betsy was a bit concerned.
Over the course of the afternoon, Audrey had downed
a glass of _____ wine, a _____ and tonic,
a sip of _____ , a glass of _____ , and
some cheap _____ --- a lot of booze.
Not to mention that huff from the _____ _____ .

"Can you drive ok?" Betsy asked.
"Can you find your way back home?"
But Audrey was already gunning the gas
and on her way -- no doubt to her next
burnout _____.

* * * * *

It all goes wrong in a hurry,
Betsy thought as she fiddled with the car radio.
No point going down in the _____ _____ .
No: she was aiming for clarity and _____ instead.

Traffic was light now, as was her mood.
With any luck, she just might get home in time
to catch the _____ late show, curled up with a nice
hot cup of _____.

And that, dear Mad-Libbers, is our girl Betsy in a nutshell:

She stays cool, if not _____ .
