Norwegian Wood - Herman's Hermits
I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed"
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood.

Guess I'm dating myself, but my first thought was not that song, but "House of the Rising Sun."

Heh - I never learned that one. :)

You're kidding about not learning "House of the Rising Sun", right?
Sometime, try putting the lyrics of "Amazing Grace" to that tune ... it brings a whole 'nother dimension to John Newton's beautiful lyrics.
(useless trivia ... the lyrics to "Amazing Grace" also are compatible, timing-wise, with the tune of the "Gilligan's Island" theme song. Not that I recommend singing them that way ...)
