The song lyrics thread has made me think that you guys might enjoy a game I've been playing on another board. Link the Lyrics is played with a series of excerpts from song lyric(s); the object is to post lyrics which duplicate a word or phrase included in the immediately preceding post.

So - if I posted the lyrics from You're Having My Baby [bushasuru emoticon], someone could follow with the lyrics from Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me [bushasuru-again e]. In posting lyrics, please ~

~ confine the lyrics to four lines or less, unless the song is out of copyright
~ boldface the linking word or phrase
~ identify the title of the song, and
~ identify the composer or first performer of the song

OK. Here we go.
*********************************

Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun,
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind.
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,
there were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

-- 76 Trombones, from The Music Man, Meredith Willson

There's no use in crying, it's all over
But I know there'll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

Why, Christine McVie

There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel,
A million marching feet.

There'll always be an England -- Parker & Charles

It was just any old kind of day
The kind that comes and slips away
The kind that fills up easy my life's time

Any Old Kind of Day, Harry Chapin

That's why I go with that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it

Rock and Roll Music, Chuck Berry

I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm

Following this back could link to the 3 min earlier consuela edited post.


Everybody plays the fool sometime;
There's no exception to the rule.
Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel,
I ain't lying, everybody plays the fool.


by Rudy Clark, Kenny Williams & Jim Bailey, sung by Aaron Neville (or the main ingredient?)
