Name the song the line is from Part II

How about:

Now my girl you're so young and pretty



Bob

.

Eric Burdon and the Animals - We gotta get outa this place

Still leaving it open

Ok,

And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all. Bob

This must be an American joke song.
I saw the Beach Boys do it a few year ago - when they announced it everyone laughed and then there was a big cheer. I remember the opening line, and also recognize your lyric, but I have no idea what it is called.

It's called "Okee from Muskogee," a classic by Merle Haggard. It's not a joke, Tony. It's about solid small-town values --

"We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
and white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all."

I have nothing new in mind. Anybody?

Hi Sue
I don't know why the crowd laughed when the Beach Boys started to sing it.
Maybe because it was an unusual song for them? Or maybe the marijuana ref in the opening line.
Thanks for explaining it - I'll find it on Youtube.

I have a new one -

************ NEW ****************

Mid Sixties Hit -

like a new born baby it just happens every day

Edited to add - It was a number one hit!


Tonyrob

The song is "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones

I can submit this one:

I can't choose
It's too much to lose


Bob

Hi All,

That’s a good one, Bob. It gets a lot of play around here. “Black is Black” by Los Bravos.

Next:

Gotta keep goin’
Gotta make my way
Gotta live for the end of the day
