    First place I heard this tune was on the record "Sonny Side Up." Love Diz's alternate lyrics.

    I'll be sure to participate this month, this is one of the all time classics.

    Quite interesting, Mr. B, when they sing the lyrics, they pronounce 'can't' the Brit way as 'cahn't'. I was quite surprised by that. And there's all those Brit singers going 'can't' because they wanna sound 'merican :-)

    (I do that too because singing in posh Brit sounds absurd!)

    Me and my faithful friend hanging out on the sunny side of the yard in September. The weather in New Hampshire is a bit chilly now to be picking outside.
