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

"What time is it?" said the judge to Joey when they met.
"Five to ten," said Joey.
Judge said, "that's exactly what you get" Bob Dylan/Desire

The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down...look here brutha, who you jivin wit that cosmic debris... Zappa/Apostrophe
A little odd ditty that somehow I've not forgotten. And please excuse the R rated theme; no intention to insult anyone.

"My dick is a harley
You kick it to start
The moment it speaks
The heavens will part"
Frank Zappa, the Mothers from their Live @ the Fillmore LP.

Incidently, I saw them play this live at a gig in Vermont. Frank mentioned that he was so happy to be in VT with normal people. As they just got busted on a porn charge while performing this in Miami. Times were pretty different then.
