Joe - you can rest happy now; the George Miller version is on youtube now: Boyer Twins - Oh, Ain't It A Beauty.

To save you the trouble I've put the words below. If I have time tomorrow I'll see if I can do the tune.

Mick



OH AIN'T IT A BEAUTY
(George Miller)

  Chorus:
  Oh, ain't it a beauty,
  I will use it proudly most of my life.
  Oh, ain't it a beauty,
  And if you don't believe me, ask my wife.


I've used it a lot in the Summertime, and I've used it a lot in Fall.
I'm willin' to bet the Spring of the year's when I use it the most of all.
If I should ever get too weak to hold it in the air
I've instructed my wife to handle it with tender loving care.

Last Winter it was crazy and the snow was deep and cold.
(It) was a little more stiff than usual and I was feeling bold
The nighbours watched with envy as I rolled it out to play.
I wrote my name in the snow bank that was over a block away.

Why neighbour O'Toole come by today and he told me that he had heard
That mine was longer than his was, he didn't believe a word.
I bet him a buck and I hauled it out and laid it in the street:
He couldn't believe it when he saw it was over a hundred feet.

I've used it a lot in the Summertime, and I've used it a lot in Fall.
I'm willin' to bet the Spring of the year's when I use it the most of all.
And you can be rest assured that I'll be using it for years
Cause it's the finest link of garden hose they ever sold at Sears.
