Jim-

Here's my transcription which I neglected to post years ago which is probably a more accurate transcription of what they were singing, or not:

ARMSTRONG TOURIST REST HOME

(By Alan Fraser © BMI as sung by Alan Fraser and Daisy DeBolt on FRASER & DEBOLT, Columbia 30381, circa 1970)

The reason I get so upset when you talk disassuredly
Is where on earth is it leading?
The cowboys have trouble with reading,
The mistletoe is leaving your head on my shoulder,
My, my, my.

Your love for me, is an overnight sensation;
My love for you, is an overnight sensation too!

Constance, what a name, you should have said Felicity,
How did you hear I was hungry?
That's nonsense, Marie, and you know it,
The liquor has made you a little bit bolder,
My, my, my.

Your love for me, is an overnight sensation;
My love for you, is an overnight sensation too!

Now that the whole thing is over,
Heaven knows what I'll do;
I might try to get back to the clover,
Or I might stay and play for you.

Incense, velvet, simplicity, religion,
Where on earth are you going?
The cowboys are sprinkling mycelium;
The mushrooms keep growing in every new boot print,
My, my, my.

Your love for me, is an overnight sensation;
My love for you, is an overnight sensation too!

I'd still love to have the chords to this song.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
