as for the "Mares eat oats and Does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy"
I would have thought that that was a correct statement.

It missed me mother and hit me dad and knocked him off his chair...'

Our Bblind drummer once doing diggin' up bines said " I'm gettin a ___.... " We all about died.

I used to tell him in exclamation sometimes, "Hell Danny, I don;t know whether to S#... or go Deaf.."

or " Better than a sharp stick in the ear.." I liked eating pizza with Danny. He couldn't tell how much of it I had eaten. and I didn't have to exibit good table manners..

Sounds like an idea for a new string, when I get time. 4 bands and paving up the .... right now..

Off to the gig.

This one and anything from Cross Canadian Ragweed, some good ones below. These guys get PAID to sing and write this stuff?

After (one more than last number) rounds ot Jose Cuervo, I did something anatomically impossible like having two left feet.

After (yet another larger number) rounds of Jose Cuervo, I proved that more Jose Cuervo makes me a bigger and better man than before.

After (oh my GOD i'm going to kill someone if they don't turn this off) rounds of Jose Cuervo, I can't think of anything else completely cliche and moronic, so we'll just start over again!

Hey bartender another round
This one’s on mine
Let’s see how many friends I can buy in just a little time
See the girl at the bar
Tell her I’m somebody and I got a fast car
I’m in room 331 with a bottle of wine
Tell I’m a superstar
She won’t give it a second chance
Tell that I play guitar but I never learned how to dance
And here’s my key
Yeah look at me

Not to derail your thread but imho the most "over-used" lyric is "...i love you..".

I pulled the head off Elvis
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you.

Go figure...

I pulled into Cowtown Saturday night
and a little bitty boy helped me putting up the light
to my Medicine Wagon and my Seein’ all Screen
He said it was the best thing that he’d ever seen
He said, “What are you doing?”
“Abracadab!”
“What’s your name?”
“Ding Dong Howdy!”
“And the best old time that you’re ever gonna have
is with Ding Dong Howdy and Abracadab!”
O-oh Abracadab, O-oh Ding Dong Howdy
and the best old time that you’re ever gonna have
is with Ding Dong Howdy and Abracadab!

I opened up my show
I sold about a case of my home brewed , “Whoops!”
and I was staring in the face
of a big old sheriff with a waxed mustache
he showed me his badge and then he took away my cash
He said, “What are you doing?”
“Abracadab!”
“What’s your name?”
“Ding Dong Howdy!”
“And the best old time that you’re ever gonna have
is with Ding Dong Howdy and Abracadab!”
O-oh Abracadab, O-oh Ding Dong Howdy
and the best old time that you’re ever gonna have
is with Ding Dong Howdy and Abracadab!

Now they were heatin’ up tar, they brought along feathers
I said, “ Wait a minute, I can even change the weather!”
Went into my wagon and presented them a cane
pointed at the heavens and it started pouring rain
They said, “How'd you do that?”
“Abracadab!”
“What’s your name?”
“Ding Dong Howdy!”
“And the best old time that you’re ever gonna have
is with Ding Dong Howdy and Abracadab!”
O-oh Abracadab, O-oh Ding Dong Howdy
and the best old time that you’re ever gonna have
is with Ding Dong Howdy and Abracadab!

"And I knew (I knew I knew I knew I knew)
That she would make me happy (happy happy)
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere!

It was one of those things you had to be there for I guess....

Not that I necessarily was, or wasn't...

Itchycoo Park.

Over bridge of saints
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreamin' spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been

What did you do there?
I got high
What did you feel there?
Well I cried
But why the tears there?
I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be niceand have fun in the sun

Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you

You can miss out school (won't that be cool)
Why go to learn the words of fools?

What will we do there?

We'll get high

What will we touch there?

We'll touch the sky

But why the tears then?

I'll tell you why..

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
Ha! It's all too beautiful

Anyway, back to this record...The Dillards do a song called "Who Stole My Underwear?". It even features a pedal steel!

Whooooo stole my underwear?
Ittttt was my only pair.
They're not anywhere...in my rooooom
Who took my ol'....Fruit of the Loom?

Mares eat oats
and Does eat oats
and little Lambs eat ivy
A Kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you...

And lets not forget the country classic that starts: "I was overseas in battle when the Postman came to me." (Dear John)

In that same vein, (though I love the song) ET's "Soldier's Last Letter" seems a little hard to visualize. Upon finishing the letter, the mom fought against tears in her eyes...

"But they came unashamed
For there was no name
and she knew that her soldier had died."
