Finnegans Wake Book 1 Chapter 6
IndieMusicPeople

 















An upbeat Texas swing/jazz tune that introduces the band.

Music and lyrics: Bing Futch

Actually a sort of "nonsense song", there is a kernel of genesis story in the tune having to do with how lead singer/dulcimer player Bing Futch met up with vocalist, trumpeteer Bunky (it's not true, but it makes for good television.
Got a guitar in Houston for $32.99
didn't come with a case
didn't come with a cord
but Lord, that suits me fine

CHORUS

Ring-a-ding-ding
ring-a-ding-ding
ring-a-ding-ding, my name is Bing
I can't play guitar and I can't sing

picked up a mouth harp in Phoenix
got it in the key of C
it's just a little thing
but it ain't got strings
and that's all that matters to me

CHORUS

picked up a girlie in Vegas
the girlie, she was mighty fine
she was quite the little honey
but she spent all my money
and left me with nothing but a dime

Finnegans Wake Book 1 Chapter 6
The ring man in the rong shop but the rite words by the rote order! Ubi lingua nuncupassit, ibi fas! Adversus hostem semper sac! She that will not feel my ful- moon let her peel to thee as the hoyden and the impudent! That mon that hoth no moses in his sole nor is not awed by conquists of word's law, who never with humself was fed and leaves his soil to lave his head, when his hope's in his highlows from whisking his woe, if he came to my preach, a proud pursebroken ranger, when the heavens were welling the spite of their spout, to beg for a bite in our bark Noisdanger, would meself and Mac Jeffet, four-in-hand, foot him out? — ay! — were he my own breastbrother, my doubled withd love and my singlebiassed hate, were we bread by the same fire and signed with the same salt, had we tapped from the same master and robbed the same till, were we tucked in the one bed and bit by the one flea, homo- gallant and hemycapnoise, bum and dingo, jack by churl, though it broke my heart to pray it, still I'd fear I'd hate to say! 12. Sacer esto? Answer: Semus sumus!
