Jim, many thanks. I think we're just two skinny li'l lines away from having the whole thing.

Odd how the second verse swings right back into that ol' 50s groove...you gotta marry her if you wanna have fun, i.e. play = pay. Even though she hain't all there and would be a serious risk around the back of the barn with the hired men. Ah, traditional values!

On the other hand who am I to be looking for rational meaning in such a splendidly goofy lust song.

Funny though, I thought the song was so disreputable there wasn't a chance they'd reissue it. Just shows to go ya...always worth a check. Thanks again.

Bob
