Strother Martin....great character actor, and an Olympic Gold medal swimmer, 1920-1930's. Also starred with Paul Newman in Slapshot, a great movie. A woman, can't remember the name, wrote the screenplay. Story was her brother played minor leagure hockey, and she'd stick a tape recorder on the bus, and catch some great stuff for a movie.

But I digress....I checked the archive, and couldn't reach the 365 day thread (out of memory). Neither version in the archive contained the lyrics, of the 2nd verse,I remember (that's the operative word here) Paul singing.

So, did he not sing...

candy is dandy but liquor's quicker (from Ogden Nash) all the cocaine's in Costa Ricker ain't nobody's business but my own

Also, I don't remember Paul singing a chorus. (If I had a VCR, I'd rent the damn movie and be done with it.)
