"NOTHIN' BUT A FINE TOOTH COMB"

WITH THE CONTINUOUS PARADE OF REPO TRUCKS AND LOST JOBS, THIS CLASSIC LOUIE ARMSTRONG SONG COMES TO MIND:

BILL BAILEY WON'T YOU COME HOME



Well, won't you come home, Bill Bailey
Won't you come home?
I moaned the whole night long
I'll do the cookin; honey
I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Yeah! Remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out
With nothin' but a fine tooth comb
Yeah! I know I'm to blame
Well, ain't it a shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?
Well, won't you come home, Bill Bailey
Won't you come home?
I moaned the whole night long
I'll do the cookin; honey
I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Yeah! Remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out
With nothin' but a fine tooth comb
Yeah! I know I'm to blame
Well, ain't it a shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?
Well remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out
With nothin' but a fine tooth comb
Yeah! I know I'm to blame
Well, ain't it a shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?
