Memorable Lyrics:
- "I'd just like to be your bridge over troubled waters mama"
- "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a song by Simon and Garfunkel
- "Come Saturday night/When all but the moon is fast asleep I'll watch the sun rise/And leap into your eyes"
- "She's a lot of fun. Think that she's the only freak been born/As a matter of fact, she's not the only sand at the beach/Or to be exact, there's a whole lot of beaches"
