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
