Hi, I was looking at the Woody Guthrie thread and was mightily amused by his copyright statement, being:
"This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do." W.G.

In a song called (I think) either Otto Zilch or From The Indies To The Andies in his Undies, one verse goes:
(something about his) mission, stopping only now and then to do some fishin', and he went without a copyright permission, 'twas a very very daring thing to do. Otherwise a great children's song, but these 2 led me to ask - any other good lyrics with Copyright (with or without Permission)?
