For the record, I was quoting your "Elvis Song" post with "Elvis" as the performer. Not calling my verse one of The King's -- I was trying to be witty.

Just in case it came across that way, ec

you kiddin'...you're always witty.

"I saved King David's life...and he offered me a wife.
I said now you're talkin' business...have a chair".

From the 4 y.o.?,,,,,LMAO

Yeah, she had quite a vocabulary.
We still laugh about that.

Ok, sports fans - gotta hit the sack.

I’ll leave y’all with this famous lyrical thought:

“And in the end, the love you take
Is equal to the love you make”

He prayed upon the bad ones so wide was spread his fame
From Houston up to Calgary the folks all knew his name

We need you back brother. Come with some lyrics

Beatles ,,,but,,,as usual that's the extent of my exerted effort

I had picked up a pretty salty tounge at a really early age in life growing up in in the oil patch & some of the colorful invectives I had cast towards my sisters were of a physical impossibility & would earn me a rapid slap across the mouth followed by a nasty tasting bar of soap applied in the same targeted A.O. by my mother,,,

Tasted some Ivory myself... guess it coulda been worse, coulda been Lava.

Well if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free
So you're gonna be talked about

As a kid I used to think that “Round John Virgin” was there at the manger with Mother and Child.

And I wondered who this Jose’ guy was that was lookin for the flag at the dawn’s early light.

And the sad thing is, John is still a virgin to this day.

I would have picked this one up for you had I been on here last night.

I've heard "There's a bathroom on the right".

When I was a teenager, my friend and I were listening to ELO, and his mother walked by and says, "That's a sick song!"
We were like, "What?"
She says, "I'm gonna stretch my dick???"
No, Mrs. Wiley, "I got a Strange Magic!"

Yeah, I remember having questions about all those same lyrics

 

[OmerV]

" I was a lonely teenage bronc'n buck,with a pink carnation & a pickup truck"



"17 inches of flame"



" just sit right back & you'll hear a tale,a tale of a fateful trip"

Did anyone answer these?

The first and last are very easy for anyone of a certain age ( American Pie and Gilligan's Island) - not that I'm that old....

I don't have an answer on the middle one though.

Saw a city in the fog and an old church town where the seagulls play.
Saw the sad shire horses walking home in the sodium light,
Two priests on the ferry.…

 

[OmerV]

Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,
