This is NOT connected to the "world upside down thread" of February, 2025. Sincerely, Gargoyle As children , when we were engulfed in tears, our mother would take us to a rocking chair, that was referred to as "The Billy Chair" because it had two horns at the top...and sing this song. |

I didn't think you wanted When Things Do Go to Suite You |

I am sure it was sung to her as a child ... but, verses slip away. Sincerely, Gargoyle Pray tell - how did you locate it? A few keys of our "Mudcat Super Sluths" could make a for fascinating documentaries. |
