Only death.

All I can remember is the music from that space hippy episode of star trek.
"Stiff man putting my mind in jail,the judge bangs the gavel and says no bail, I'm gonna lick his hand and wag my tail"
does that count?
I don't remember that one, but I'll never forget:
"Gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy
Got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy!"

I remember the Happy Days beatnik poem being....

I remember a snippet of a poem
that began with "Mr business

the Beverly Hillbillies.
Does anyone have anything on this?

The 'jelly donut' riff predates Happy Days--it's in episode 4 of Peter Gunn.
