Yes! In 1965. My dad, Pumpi "Weasleteats" Warsaw, was a bluegrass
singer in the Atlanta-based band "The Shrinking of George". What you
found is no doubt the lyrics to that song, which topped the pop charts
briefly in 1965 (August 1st, 1965, 11:57 - 13:01 to be exact),
displacing the Beatles "I Wanna Hold Your Head" before being itself
displaced by the The Bee Gee's "Booger Feever" [sic]. Sadly, even
Napster doesn't have the mp3's and all Dad's old records are scratched
beyond hope.
