>>> Lyrics by Bill Taylor

And that is absolutely correct.

But Clam Chowder recorded an extra verse that never appeared in the movie or anywhere else (to the best of my knowledge) except our album, "Special Order."

And that verse ...
Now the seasons spin on by / Like seconds on this ship
And I'll take another pull / From the flask that's at my hip
The might-have-beens and the never-weres / Can drive a man insane
So I think I'll stay out in the void / 'Cause Benson's not the same

... was most assuredly NOT written by Bill Taylor. This verse was written by Terry Sheehan.
