Here's the ending lyrics: Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her And then you get distracted by her older sister When in walks her father and takes you in line And says "Better go home, son, and make up your mind." Then you bet you'd better finally decide! And say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes, and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide? 452472@blogcritics.org Sat, 7 Oct 2006 00:36:51 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/06/081515.php#comment-452398 Gordon, unless you tell us what the kid decided I'm going to have to pull out that CD and play it again, because I can't remember! Bob, I guess Zal was quite a character - I found one quote from him saying that he once lived for 7 months in a laundromat. 452398@blogcritics.org Fri, 6 Oct 2006 20:37:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/06/081515.php#comment-452370 BG--oh yes: "when in comes her father and takes you aside / and says 'you better go home son and make up your mind.'" 452370@blogcritics.org Fri, 6 Oct 2006 19:22:35 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/06/081515.php#comment-452232 Cool review. Cool comments on a seminal group in Sixties Folk-Rock music. Just reporting in from the final hometown of Zal Yanovsky, where he's still remembered fondly. 452232@blogcritics.org Fri, 6 Oct 2006 13:54:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/06/081515.php#comment-452222 Thanks, Gordon. And remember another of their hits, the oddly-named "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind"? 452222@blogcritics.org Fri, 6 Oct 2006 13:35:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/06/081515.php#comment-452109 Thanks for the reminder of a truly great group. I even get some of the lesser known hits or non-hits stuck in my head quite a bit, such as "Rain On the Roof," "Full Measure," "Jug Band Music," "Six O' Clock," "Darlin' Be Home Soon." I could go on... 452109@blogcritics.org Fri, 6 Oct 2006 08:59:56 EDT
