But she still wants you….

Can someone please explain me the reference? I don’t get it

It’s a 70s thing, there was a song called Tie A Yellow Ribbon ’Round The Old Oak Tree. About a prisoner getting released after 5 years. The 70s were weird.

He is still wanted back.

Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree – Song by Dawn

I’m comin’ home, I’ve done my time. Now I’ve got to know what is and isn’t mine. If you received my letter telling you I’d soon be free. Then you’ll know just what to do if you still want me. If you still want me. Tie a yellow ribbon ‘round the old oak tree. It’s been three long years. Do you still want me? If I don’t see a ribbon round the old oak tree. I’ll stay on the bus. Forget about us. Put the blame on me. If I don’t see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. Bus driver, please look for me. ‘Cause I couldn’t bear to see what I might see. I’m really still in prison, and my love she holds the key. A simple yellow ribbon’s what I need to set me free. I wrote and told her please. Tie a yellow ribbon ‘round the old oak treeIt’s been three long years. Do you still want me?. If I don’t see a ribbon round the old oak tree. I’ll stay on the bus. Forget about us. Put the blame on me. If I don’t see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. Now the whole bus is cheeringAnd I can’t believe I see. A hundred yellow ribbons ‘round the old oak tree. I’m comin’ home

Nice one, Guys!

Eh?

Now THAT’S stuck in my head.

Priceless

Song from the 70’s (?) Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree….

While the song gave it a boost the use of ribbons goes way back. In the early 1900s yellow ribbons were given to troops. They were also used by people who had someone in war. Also a symbol for MIA.

But someone can say he just got out of the jail.

But is it an old Oak tree?

The cartoon kinda implies they are married.

With THAT waiting at home, I would NEVER work late!!!!
