Afternoon delight Started out this morning feeling so polite I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn’t bite But you’ve got some bait a waitin’ and I think I might try nibbling a little afternoon delight.

sheeeesh... ok, nows I gots tah splice three together... Ok, taking the ‘man’ from Love lies bleeding, the ‘dollar’ from Dixieland Delight, and eta’s ‘fish’ can get us back to grand unified theory of song…
A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail, A boat without a rudder or a fish without a tail, A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand, There's only one thing worse in the universe That's a woman without a man. A woman without a man.
You can throw a silver dollar down upon the ground, And it will roll, because it's round. A woman never knows what a good man she's got, Until she turns him down,
So listen, my honey, listen to me I want you to understand That as a SILVER DOLLAR goes from hand to hand A woman goes from man to man, A woman goes from man to man.
Jack Palmer and Clarke van Ness, 1939

No, it wasn't the Lovin' Spoonful, they did Nashville Cats. This was a real live spoof.
Edit: oops, this was a supposed to be a late-night PM.

If I had a boat I'd go out on the ocean And if I had a pony I'd ride him on my boat And we could all together Go out on the ocean Me upon my pony on my boat

He makes it look so easy He looks so clean He moves like God's Immaculate machine He makes me thing about All these extra moves I make And all this herky-jerky motion And the bag of tricks it takes To get me through my working day One-trick pony

My starter won't start this mornin' And I'm about to lose my mind My starter won't start this mornin' And I'm about to lose my mind
I wanna go and see my little baby But my machine is all outa time.
I got water in my gas tank and my battras all run down I got water in my gas tank and my battras all run down
If I don't see my little baby I'm gonn' leave this lonesome town.
My starter won't start this mornin' And my car won't do a thing My starter won't start this mornin' No my car won't even sing
(classic line) I must begot some kind of bad disconnection Somewhere in my piston ring..

[ingroup extension for wholegroup hugginess]My previous song was originally encountered in an earlier lifetime when hunting down the prime origins of the famous "fish on a bicycle" quotation - and the two names I used here are idents of two posters from waybackwhen, much missed but... suggested by the fish/bicycle/shanks' pony warp in my brain...[/hug]

But you ran out of gas Down the road a piece Then the battery went dead And now the cable won't reach...
It's your last chance To check under the hood Last chance She ain't soundin' too good, Your last chance To trust the man with the star You've found the last chance Texaco

Last chance lost-- In the tyranny of a long good-bye Last chance lost-- We talk of us with deadly earnest eyes Last chance lost-- We talk of love in terms of sacrifice and compromise Last chance - Last chance lost
from Joni Mitchell's Last Chance Lost
