Best lines in a song


There has been a long-running thread here of 'Best quotes' but maybe it would be interesting to find out folks' favorite lines from songs. To keep it on some sort of track, let's have a few ground rules.

- Attribution is required, who sang it (or wrote it) and where can we hear it?
- Shorter is better, four lines maximum, a verse. These should be words of wisdom that can be summoned for inspiration in social emergencies.
- If you're an opera fan, you're welcome to post in Italian, just don't expect many high fives from the monolingual among us.

I'll throw out a couple for starters:

When you're rockin' and a rollin' you can't hear your momma call.
Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly

All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun.
All I want in this life and time is some hit and run.
Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub

and one more

Blues In The Night

A woman’s a two face, a worrisome thing that would have you singing the blues in the night.
God said to Abraham "Kill me a son."
Abe said "Man, you must be puttin' me on."
God said "No."
Abe said "What?"
God said "You can do what you want, Abe, but"
"Next time you see me coming, you'd better run."
Abe said "Where you want this killing done?"
God said "Down on Highway 61."
