Does anyone remember the original of "Winchester Cathedral"? I think the lyrics went like this: "Winchester Cathedral, na na na na na-ah," ad infinitum. Anyway H & J's version ended with the lines:

Winchester Cathedral, you're doing us dirt,
They finally wrote one that we couldn't hurt!

I don't see "How Much is That Hound Dog in the Window" here. The chorus went:

How much is that hound dog in the window,
The one with the basketball nose on its face?
They call it a basketball nose 'cause
It dribbles all over the place.

I likewise only remember a fragment of "Your Li'l Ol' Kiss of Fire":

You got a pucker like a possum suckin' 'simmons
The way you kiss you must have practiced on some lemons
And when I touch your lips it makes my teeth perspire,
Doggone that ci-gar and
Your Li'l Ol' Kiss of Fire!

Hope I haven't posted all this in another thread....
