He even patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell!

Tony, are you servin' up lyrics from The Ballad of Davy Crockett? It's the end of days, I tell ya!


Let's try this one-liner:

Leavin' me lookin' like a dumbstruck fool

More lines and a few hints:


Oh, my love, you're so good at treating me so cruel
There you go with your fancy lies
Leavin' me lookin' like a dumbstruck fool


It's a brother group. The song is from 1975 (#1 US, #5 UK)

…with all your “Jive Talkin’”. Good one, Jim! The Bee Gees had a big hit with that one.

I’ll take it back to 1963:

Don't you tell me my baby's just a playboy (That's a lie)
I won't listen to a single word you say (He's my guy)

I liked that one! It's Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby, by The Cookies.



This one is from 1980:

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence

Leaving a few more lines and a few hints:


I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence

Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules


This song about the end of a romance, and possibly a divorce, was a 1980 Top-10 hit (#8 US, #1 UK) for this Swedish group. It’s also sung in both the stage and movie musical productions featuring many of the group’s best known tunes.

OK - going out on more of a limb than I usually do.
I have seen the band a few times - and the Mama Mia stage show at Mandalay Bay
Don't know for sure, but I think that was Abba - Winner Takes It All

IF I was right, I'll leave it open - won't be around much in the next 24 hours.

Great Band!
