Hi paul,how have you been? sounds great I have never heard this one but its not bad thanks for sharing smiles....

figured I wouldn't go with the obvious....and then there are all the lyrics that are misheard.....

you remember the great Jimi Hendrix song....

excuse me while I kiss this guy....

hi paul,

enjoyed your wacky lyrics. two songs i love are forest lawn by tom paxton and jim croce's top hat bar and grill. two definitely funny songs with an edge. good travels and fair winds. nemo

Hey Paul.. It's me.. Paul. I am familiar with this James Taylor song. The lyrics are indeed wacky. Another wacky JT song is "Damn, this traffic jam..." I love those lyrics sitting on the Kennedy Expressway(an oximoron) in Chicago at about 3:00pm on Friday afternoon.

Give it a listen!!

Damn This traffic jam, How I hate To be late. It hurts my motor to go so slow. Damn This traffic jam, Time I get home my supper'll be cold. Damn This traffic jam. Well, I left my job about 5 o'clock, It took 15 minutes go three blocks— Just in time to stand in line, With the freeway looking like a parking lot. {Repeat Chorus} Now, I almost had a heart attack— Looking in my rear view mirror. I saw myself the next car back, Looking in the rear view mirror, 'Bout to have a heart attack. I said . . . {Repeat Chorus} Now, when I die I don't want no coffin; I've thought about it all too often. Just strap me in behind the wheel And bury me with my automobile. {Repeat Chorus} Now, I used to think that I was cool, Running around on fossil fuel. Until I saw what I was doing— Was driving down the road to ruin

Paul,

Here's another one... 30,000 pounds of bananas by Harry Chapin.

Have a buddy who loves the banana song....perfect for truckers....

and we haven't got into novelty songs....

speaking of truckers...

here's the lyrics to Convoy...

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck. You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon? Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure. By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon. Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June

In a Kenworth pullin' logs

Cab-over Pete with a reefer on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh

'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town

I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.

"And I'm about to put the hammer down."

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a little convoy

Rockin' through the night.

Yeah, we got a little convoy,

Ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on and join our convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the U-S-A.

Convoy!

[On the CB]

Ah, breaker, Pig Pen, this here's the Duck. And, you wanna back off them hogs? Yeah, 10-4, 'bout five mile or so. Ten, roger. Them hogs is gettin' in-tense up here.

By the time we got into Tulsa Town,

We had eighty-five trucks in all.

But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,

And them bears was wall-to-wall.

Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;

They even had a bear in the air!

I says, "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck.

"We about to go a-huntin' bear."

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a great big convoy

Rockin' through the night.

[ http://www.rare-lyrics.com ]

Yeah, we got a great big convoy,

Ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on and join our convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the U-S-A.

Convoy!

[On the CB]

Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, Pig Pen? Negatory, Pig Pen; you're still too close. Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses. Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten.

Well, we rolled up Interstate 44

Like a rocket sled on rails.

We tore up all of our swindle sheets,

And left 'em settin' on the scales.

By the time we hit that Chi-town,

Them bears was a-gettin' smart:

They'd brought up some reinforcements

From the Illinoise National Guard.

There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,

And rigs of ev'ry size.

Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears

And choppers filled the skies.

Well, we shot the line and we went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus

In a chartreuse micra-bus.

[On the CB]

Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Lissen, you wanna put that micra-bus right behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore

And prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn't have a dog-goned dime.

I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.

"We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."

So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight

I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4."

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a mighty convoy

Rockin' through the night.

Yeah, we got a mighty convoy,

Ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on and join our convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the U-S-A.

Convoy! Ah, 10-4, Pig Pen, what's your twenty?

Convoy! OMAHA? Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure. Well, mercy

Convoy! sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your...

Convoy! tail. We'll catch you on the flip-flop. This here's the Rubber Duck on the side.

Convoy! We gone. 'Bye,'bye.
