Subject: RE: Lyr Req: FootprintsOn The Windshield Upside Down
Oscar Brand recorded this as part two of Letters To and From A Young
Man on Bawdy Songs Go To College.Part one was:-

M is for the many times you made me,
O is for the other times you tried
T is for those tawdry frat house weekends,
H is for my hope to be a bride
E is for your everlasting passion
R is for the ruin you made of me
Put them all together,they spell mother
And thats just what I think I'm going to be

To which there is of course a reply

F is for your funny little letter
A is for the answer to your note
T is for the tearful sad occasion
H is for your hope I'll be the goat
E is for the ease with which I made you
R is for the rube you think I'll be

Put them all together they spell Father
But you'll never pin that label dear on me

On to further correspondence
