Let's Play WHO WROTE THIS LYRIC!

I'm not Bob Eubanks, but pretend that I am (as a matter of fact, I've met him many times playing gigs near his Hidden Hills Estate --- Nice guy!).

But that's neither here nor there. --- AND HERE WE GO!



Bob: "Contestant #1, who wrote these two lyrics? 'Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.' AND, for bonus points: 'And curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid Get.'

Woah, that's pretty tough! I'll hit the timer for 30 seconds --- NOW!"

'Some Enchanted Evening'
lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, music by Richard Rodgers
from the musical "South Pacific"

I have to get down to the Bahamas someday, Billy!

As far as your BONUS POINTS answer, if I were Alex Trebek and not Bob Eubanks, I'd say "You must be more specific. What song, not what album." Eubanks would let it go as correct!

WHO WROTE THIS LYRIC!

'The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower.'

Billy

I have no idea! It definitely sounds British because of the "Whilst," and is somewhat cynical and/or poetic.

My two guesses: Either Peter Gabriel or Ian Anderson.

Ern Eubanks

"Wow! We've got some great players on this show! Let me tell ya ---




Contestant #2: Here's your lyric!

'And I know she's living there, and she loves me to this day ---
I still can't remember when, or how I lost my way --- '

Holy Moly, that's a tough one! --- HeHeHeh! --- Certainly not a Frank Sinatra song, I'll bet... Woah, Nellie!"
