In the spirit of the pardon storm soon to come from the White House: songs with Pardon

[Ptah]

Chattanooga Choo Choo!


Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
Track twenty-nine
Boy, you can gimme a shine
I can afford
To board a Chattanooga choo choo
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare

You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner
Nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina

When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in
Gotta keep it rollin'
Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call "funny face"
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?
Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?

2. Pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of your bullshit for the past 8 years you asshole

3. OK then, how about some rabbit hole music

4. I tried finding the lyrics for this: Leadbelly-Governor O.K. Allen

but other than comments about a pardon, none seemed to be able to supply the lyrics to the song.

5. Does this mean you will recommend this thread?

[kentauros]

6. There! Happy?

:P

Actually, it is a good thread. I only wish I could find more songs with 'pardon' in them. I am not so knowledgeable on lyrics as some of y'all :)

8. The Elvis Presley classic,

"A Fool Such As I"

Lyrics:

Pardon me, if I’m sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I’ll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I’ll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I’ll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
