Proof of the Pudding
Scotch and Soda by the Kingston Trio
Posted by Wayne (Melbourne, Australia) on 7 September 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
This is one of my favourite songs to take me all the way back on the homestretch.
There's something about the acoustic guitar, the deep bottom and simple lyrical melody that just like an aural down quilt.
So anyway...I'll let the song tell its side.
Here's the studio version
and here's the live version
And the Lyrics are as follows:
Scotch and soda, mud in your eye
Baby, do I feel high?
Oh, me, oh, my, do I feel high?
Dry martini, jigger of gin
Oh, what a spell you've got me in
Oh, my, do I feel high?
People won't believe me
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
But I could feel the way I do
And still be on the wagon
All I need is one of your smiles
Sunshine of your eyes, oh, me, oh, my
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly?
Give me lovin', baby, I feel high
People won't believe me
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
But I could feel the way I do
And still be on the wagon
All I need is one of your smiles
Sunshine of your eyes, oh, me, oh, my
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly?
Give me lovin', baby, I feel high
