Skinny was born in a bathtub

In the grand scheme of things it's not a bad song but does anybody know any of the lyrics to Peter, Paul and Mary's "Lemon Tree" other than the refrain? It's one of those songs that got killed by a catchy refrain.
I'd forgotten that. And thanks--now I'm going to have to forget it all over again.
They are called "ear worms' Randy Bachman does a show on CBC Saturday nights where he often concentrates nothing bud bad songs that became ear worms.
I'm talking about the "too old" thing. That was painful!!:lol:
Here ya go. This should be right up your ally. It's a great tune but the lyrics are right out of Finnegan's Wake -
Right. I've my own evil little collection. :mrgreen:
I've been pulled over in by boat twice while it was on its trailer parked in my driveway for playing some zombie too loud. There are some lyrics that leave you scratching your head.
This may sound shameful, but I like In-a-godda-da-vita.
Maybe the riff is great but the lyrics....good grief!
For example, you've got the Montrose classic "Rock Candy" with the refrain-
Or Kiss with "Love Gun" -
Yeah, when I was 12 I though the lyrics were great but some times hindsight hurts.:lol:
all around the big bad world

Someday I’ll find a love like yours

Oh I swear to ya, I'll be there for ya

Hefty bag to hold my love
Thankfully, that's not one of my "ear worms." I'm having supper tonight with a friend who cruelly sent me the theme song from "Flipper." I retaliated with "MacArthur Park" and was ready to send him the "Addams Family" theme song (either one).
And I have more. :twisted:
Don't **** with me, I have the Monkey's opening theme as well as the theme from the original 1960's Batman and if you really piss me off, "Tiny Tim's Greatest Hits".
**** Led Zeppelin. If the annoying, shrill-ass lead singer's voice wasn't damning enough, there's a great example of how unbearably bad they were as songwriters. It's not innuendo if it can't be taken any other ****ing way, you coked-up retards!
Edit: DAMN IT LUTHERF! :lamo
More unbearable and irredeemable innuendo, this time from Nickelback.
Imagine the chaos that would unfold in "Worst rap lyrics"... it would be glorious.
Well, since you brought up Procol Harum, I've waited decades to whine about "Conquistador." Throughout, the word is mispronounced. It's not "con-kwis-tador"; it's "cone-kees-tador." Arrrgh.
But I've digressed. "Judy in Disguise" has truly dumb lyrics.
What about America's "A Horse With No Name"?
some talk show host who used to be a DJ had a listing of the truly pathetic rock songs that actually got airplay and horse with no name was prominently featured
others--Billy Don't be a hero
