This about sums it up.
Yeah but, on the other hand, in 72 we had:
Muskrat Love:
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...
and
in 1969 there was:
Spring was never waiting for us, girlIt ran one step aheadAs we followed in the dance
Between the parted pagesAnd were pressed in love's hot, fevered ironLike a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet, green icing flowing downSomeone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it'Cause it took so long to bake itAnd I'll never have that recipe again, oh no
I recall the yellow cotton dressFoaming like a waveOn the ground around your kneesThe birds like tender babies in your handsAnd the old men playing checkers, by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet, green icing flowing downSomeone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it'Cause it took so long to bake itAnd I'll never have that recipe again, oh no
There will be another song for meFor I will sing itThere will be another dream for meSomeone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warmAnd never let you catch me looking at the sunAnd after all the loves of my lifeAfter all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use itI will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose itI will have the things that I desireAnd my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my lifeOh, after all the loves of my lifeI'll be thinking of you and wondering why
MacArthur's Park is melting in the darkAll the sweet, green icing flowing downSomeone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it'Cause it took so long to bake itAnd I'll never have that recipe againOh no, oh no, no, no, oh no
