Subject: RE: BS: Bush to make 'Dang' illegal
Great minds, Martin! I was reading through the thread and thinking - Dang me, nobody has said anything about that song. I must post some of it.

Then you mentioned it, so here are the words, complete with sound effects:

Dang Me: Roger Miller.

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, ba, boop, boom, boom.
Ba, boo, ba, boom;
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, boom.

Well, here I sat high, getting ideas.
I ain't nothing but a fool to live like this.
Out all night, an' running wild,
Woman sitting home with a month old child.

Dang me, dang me,
They ought to take a rope an' hang me.
High, from the highest tree:
Woman would you weep for me?

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boo, bum.
One more:
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boo, bum.

Just sittin' round drinkin' with the rest of the guys:
Six rounds bought, and I bought five.
I spent the groceries and half the rent,
An' like 14 dollars and 27 cents.

Oh, dang me, dang me,
They ought to take a rope an' hang me.
High, from the highest tree:
Woman would you weep for me?

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boo, bum.
One more:
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boo, bum.

They say roses are red, and violets are purple,
An' sugars sweet an' so is maple syrple.
An' I'm the seventh out of the seven sons.
My daddy was a pistol: I'm a son of a gun.

I said dang me, dang me,
They ought to take a rope an' hang me.
High, from the highest tree:
Woman would you weep for me?

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, ba, boop, boom, boom.
Ba, boo, ba, boom;
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, boom.
