Thank you ma'am.

With some worries about how world-wide this was, I still like it. 8)

They'll think that I'm just braggin'
That I could feel the way I feel,
And still be on the wagon.

Nothing! :(

Not even a wild guess!! :shock:

You guys are driving me to drink. I might have a dry martini, or a jigger of gin.

No, I'll have a "Scotch and Soda".

I thought it was an older popular song, but apparently it is credited to the Kingston Trio, based on an old, obscure song.

Thanks Paul and Wolfie. We'd just returned from a pub quiz when I saw the quote, that might have helped :D
I immediately recognised it, more from the rhythm of the words than the actual words themselves.

Here's the next one:

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware

I was sleeping, and missed the last songs, but now I am not sleeping, I'm sitting. And the song is "I'm Walkin'".

Thanks Dave.

I thought of this next song, and then realized it might relate back to sleeping, but here goes anyway. :-({|=
