"hair"at least that's what I always knew it by.

[Human without the bean]

Yes that's what I've known it by also. ~The Cowsills~

Happiness is a Warm Gum (I used that one recently, too.)

Everything about you is so doggone sweet

You got that sand all over your feet

Everything about you is so doggone sweet

You got that sand all over your feet

Opening lines of the song:

Well how can you say you will when you won't,

Say you do, baby, when you don't?

[waysider]

Huh! Uh!

there you go!

Note that most web sites cite the early lyric, which doesn't include the "sand all over your feet" verse. Even though almost all covers, including the Beatles', sing it that way.

I don't know if that makes sense.

your turn

[waysider]

Well, I've never been to England, but, I kinda like The Beatles.

[Human without the bean]

Never been to Spain (or I've never been to Spain)

I'll hold here. Only 95% sure of this title.

Actually now I'm sure I'm 100% right so..........

Want some whiskey in your water?

Sugar in your tea?

What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?

"Momma Told Me not to Come" 3 Dog Night

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

[Human without the bean]

I'm a Believer

This song got a lot of radio time in the early 70's.

Whenever I'm asked what makes-a my dreams real, I tell em you do.

[waysider]

Baby's good to me, you know,

She's happy as can be, you know,

She said so.

I Feel Fine?

I Feel Fine?

[soul searcher]

Always in a hurry

Never stop to worry

[Human without the bean]

I'm guessing a Hall & Oates song. Am I even in the ballpark?

[soul searcher]

Always in a hurry

Never stop to worry

I posted what I heard. It turns out the lyrics are acutally,

Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,

Don't you see the time flashin' by

Next line:

Honey, got no money

[Human without the bean]

To tough for me SS. Not a clue.

[soul searcher]

I was going to post another line but -- and this is kind of embarrasing -- I realized that I only know about 2 or 3 lines from the whole song, which was "Tumbling Dice" by the Rolling Stones.

I heard once that some old blues guy taught Mick Jagger to never enunciate his words clearly, to always slur them a little (or a lot).

"Hello darkness my old friend"

[soul searcher]

"Hello darkness my old friend"

Sounds of Silence

Oh father high in heaven

Smile down upon your son

[soul searcher]

Oh father high in heaven

Smile down upon your son

Whose busy with his money games

His women and his gun.

Oh Jesus save me!

[soul searcher]

I'm probably being a little silly here (this is much more than one line):

Oh father high in heaven

Smile down upon your son

Whose busy with his money games

His women and his gun

Oh Jesus save me!

And the unsung Western hero

He killed an Indian or three

And then he made his name in Hollywood

To set the white man free

Oh Jesus save me!

(Chorus)
