A few alternate lines for "Cat's Got the Measles" above, drawn from the Walter Smith cover (assuming Walter changed no lyrics. At least he probably heard a relatively E+ copy of Papa Charlie's record):

I ain't no Daniel, just born in the lion's den

and

I ain't good looking, etc.
But I got what it takes to carry me through this cockeyed world.

and

The men don't like me just because I keeps my side ...
The women cry papa, say they wanta be my bride ...

But, of course, as I got these from Smith, not Papa Charlie, they may not apply. Just a possibility. Bob
