Steven,
Thanks for this. I believe it's one of my dad's favorite songs and I used to play it quite a lot.

Hi Maarten,

I'm glad you enjoy this song. I like this song very much. Heard it on the radio yesterday. The radio show
host mentioned that it was written by Shel Silverstein. Didn't know that. What an amazing creative talent
Shel Silverstein was, in many fields. Always enjoyed the Dr. Hook recording of the song.
