(22,299 posts)I've done this one a few times... it's obscure, but I like it. It wasn't official karaoke, but at parties where I had the cassette and popped it in the player and I sang it.

(16,491 posts)Actually, everyone knows the first verse, so I'd do the second:
Harvey, Harvey, here is my answer true
I'm half crazy all to make love with you
But if you can't afford a carriage
There won't be any marriage
'Cuz I'll be damned if I'll be rammed
On a bicycle built for two.

Ill be doing the background vocals part (not the lyrics):

I do want to give "Spooky" a try sometime
