Nashville Cats:The Lovin' Spoonful.
#8 in '66.

CHORUS:
       
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water.
       
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew.
       
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies.
       
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two.

#1.
                            
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
       
guitar pickers in Nashville.
             
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
     
on a Tennessee anthill.
                      
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
       
guitar cases in Nashville.
       
And anyone that unpacks his guitar will play...
                     
twice as better than I will.

#2.

musical proverbial knee-high.

When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tubes
                   
and they blasted me sky high.

And the record man said 'Every one is a Yellow Sun

Record from Nashville.
       
And up North there ain't nobody buys them,' and I said, 
     
'But I will.' And it was...

CHORUS:

#3.

Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty-one

mothers from Nashville.

All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
   
if one of the kids will.

Because it's custom made for any mother's son
        
to be a guitar picker in Nashville.
      
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
                               
the music and the mothers from Nashville.

And it was...

CHORUS:

Pick it...//////////////////////////////////////////////
