Famous Quotation Friday - Music Lyrics

Now that a short spring vacation is in our past.  Allow us to start posting again with our now traditional Famous Quotation Friday.  My aim was to maintain rhythm and rhyming, but I couldn't always accomplish that.  Two old songs, a youngish song, and a fourth (third in this list) that splits old from young, sort of.  Striking up our band . . . now:

• I'm picking up good vibrations.  This girl's providing all my titillation. (Ooh, bop bop good, good vibrations)
•  I split from my housing in Atlanta . . . aiming for that Frisco Bay . . . Had nothing in this world worth striving for . . . and look as though nothing's gonna blow my way.  Sitting on a dock of this bay . . . watching our moon pull that liquid away.  I'm just sitting on a dock of this bay . . . wasting hours.
• With all lights down . . . it's not as hazardous . . . all of us got to this spot, do an amusing thing.  I am stupid . . . and contagious . . . all of us got to this spot, do an amusing thing.
• So I won't dillydally additionally.  It cannot wait . . . I don't doubt.  No grounds for disarray . . . our clock runs short . . . this is our lot . . . I'm yours. 
  

Lots of outstanding artists in that list - Brian Wilson, Otis, Kurt Cobain, and Jason Mraz - that this blog looks upon with favor.  And just for fun, an additional fab four songs from John, Paul, Harrison, and Ringo.

• Oh, I . . . will say a thing . . . I think you'll think is grand . . . as I . . . say a fun thing . . . I want to hold your hand.  I want to hold your ha-a-a-and.  I want to hold your hand.
• Aurally distinguish (doo dah doo), do you want to know hush hush information? (doo dah doo)
• Day prior to last, all my difficulty was so far away.  Now it looks as though that difficulty is around to stay.  Oh, I still trust in that day prior to last.
• As I find yours truly in days of worry . . . Mama Mary talks to this man . . . Passing on words of wisdom . . . Allow it to stand.  And in my hour of caliginosity* . . . that woman is standing right in front of this man . . . Passing on words of wisdom . . . allow it to stand.

* Not from my normal vocabulary, I admit.  Had to look it up.

Nursing & Rhyming in Lipogram

Jack and Jill did go up a hill to grab a pail of liquid.
Jack did fall down and smash his crown.
And Jill did so also (although that girl had no crown to crack).

An itsy bitsy arachnid did go up an aquatic spout.
Rain did drop and wash that arachnid out.
That solar disk did visit to dry up all that rain.
And that itsy bitsy arachnid did try it again.

Baa Baa black ruminant mammal do you own any wool?
Yup, sir. Yup, sir. Just short of four bags full.
A bag for my boss.
And a bag for that broad.
And a bag for that small boy who has a habitat down our road.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a significant fall.
All our king's stallions and all our king's manpanions
Couldn't put Humpty into a condition of unity again!

It's raining, it's pouring;
That old man is snoring.
Hit his noggin;
And that guy laid down;
And that guy couldn't stand up in that following morning.
Rain, rain, go away
Visit again a distinct day;
Small Johnny wants to play.

Mary had a small lamb, small lamb, small lamb,
Mary had a small lamb, its fur was light as snow.
And all spots that Mary got to, Mary got to, Mary got to,
And all spots that Mary got to, that lamb was no doubt to go.
It did follow Mary to school on an occasion, school on an occasion, school on an occasion,
It did follow Mary to school on an occasion, which was against standards.
It was causing kids to laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play,
It was causing kids to laugh and play to look at a lamb at school.
