Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
You put the boom-boom into my heart, You send my soul sky-high when your lovin’ starts. Jitterbug into my brain, Goes a-bang-bang-bang ‘til my feet do the same. Reference As I said, they are done. Of the two pictures, this one best depicts the colors. I just did the sock as toe-up with an after-thought…
