I heard this song ONE TIME about 100 years ago on the university station out of Berkley or somewhere like that. tried my best to BURN the lyrics into my head as they passed by on tat one listening.....

I swear I heard somewhere there something like

Gotta rutabaga pants an rutabaga shoes,
When I'm feeling kind down
I sing the rutabaga blues

....which, even if I imagined it, will fit in there just behind that last verse...
