Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die


Went in the Chevette t' pond but it were dried up so we went to the offy for 3 bottles of White Star cider, thought we were going to die.

“No officer, of course I’m not armed”

“Me either, must be because we’re decent humans. Let’s just have a conversation about it I nstead of me shooting you in the face”

Well, you can do anything
But lay off of my brown calf Brogues

This here's the most powerful jet-wash in the world

So I called up the Captain
Please bring me tea
He said "We haven't had that beverage here since 1963"

Take the last train to Bournville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by four thirty..
