Jim,

I believe you have nailed it. As good as we are likely to nail it, barring somebody finding an original member of the band. Several of the things you found were ones I suspected, but I didn't want to influence anyone a priori. The "hoo-hoo"s I left off deliberately, cuz' to hoo-hoo or not is one I believe is a personal choice. Reminds me of Billy Connolly talking about a Hank Williams songbook that included the "yodel-a-dee hodel-lee-dee-ho"s in detail. Some things are best left to the individual singer to do their own fillips. ;^)

Thanks much for "Sears"! It's obvious once you know it, but it was unfathomable before. "Blue sock" sounds like what it is saying too. No idea on that one!?!

I declare it good enough to sing. Thanks again.
