Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I'm Not All There (from Ella Shields)
Hi, I remember my old 96yr old Gran singing this after she had a few Whiskeys. I can still visualize her singing this song, when I was just a little kid. Hope this helps :)

"I'm not all there, there's something missing, I'm not all there so the folks declare.
They call me loopy loopy, nothing but a great big booby.
They point and say "thats where you want it" but that's just where I got it.
I know, they think I'm slow, let them think, let them think, I don't care.
Sometimes I run errands for the folks up at the grange, With a five pound note they trust me, perhaps you think that's strange.
But they never call a Policeman when I say I've lost the change,
cause I'm not supposed to be all there."
