Say, Dan, I know you're a professional songwriter,
	but there's something vaguely familiar about
	these lyrics.   Aren't you worried about a
	copyright infringement problem?

	Or is it, could it be, something in the Public Domain?
	I'll let you know if it occurs to me.   Might take a while
	since I'm laughing so . . .
