Now, there has to be a lesson here. Note that Dale in Arkansas has a better knowledge of Joe's CD collection than Joe has himself. Could it be that Joe's faculties are fading? -Joe-
SAY DARLING SAY
Oh little darling if you were mine, you wouldn't do nothing but starch and iron Say darling say Starch and iron would be your trade, and I'd get drunk and lie in the shade Say darling say
Hush up darling, don't say a word, I'm gonna buy you a mocking bird Mocking bird, if it don't sing, I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring
Diamond ring, if it turns to brass, I'm gonna buy you a looking glass Looking glass, if it gets broke, I'm gonna buy you a billy goat
