“How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.”
“And now I wish I was somewhere other than here,
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer.
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here.
'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years.”
Song lyrics, A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean (1973)
