Thinkin' 'bout the times that you drove in my car. Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far. And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.	a
I told you not to wander round in the dark. I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park. Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mable.	b
Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down, don't you notice how the feel goes round. And you better pick yourself up from the ground, before they bring the curtain down. Yes, before they bring the curtain down.	c
Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you. She didn't have the time to wait in a queue. She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.	d
