G'day Billy Bob,

Just 6 days ago, I was looking at the sheet music (in someone else's collection) of a (~) '50s song that I distantly remember my aunt singing:

The Terror of Highway 101 (?)

He had black leather trousers, and motorcycle boots,
He had a hopped-up cycle (pr. 'sickle') and he drove it like a gun,
?    ?    ?    ?    ?
That fool, he was the terror of highway 1 oh 1!

I think the bit I quote was a chorus, so it should suit your purposes. I can't see the song in the DT (I searched on "black leather trousers" ... and I'm not likely to be over where I saw the music sheet (about an hour's drive south of Sydney) for some time, but it might be out on the WWW ... somewhere!

BTW: I don't know if Herga Kitty has John Warner's words for Harley Dinosaur transcribed, but I'll probably see John tomorrow night ... and I'll ask if he does (or, more likely, if his singing partner Margaret Walters has!). Either way, he's unlikely to have the music written out ... as he doesn't work from flyspots & hen-scratches!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
