Sunday Song Lyric:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_08_24-2008_08_30.shtml#1219547012
The songwriting duo of [1]Harold Arlen and [2]E.Y. Harburg may be best
known for the songs they wrote for The Wizard of Oz, particularly
"Over the Rainbow." This weekend's news brings to mind another
Arle-Yarburg gem: Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe. It begins:
It seem like happiness is jus' a thing called Joe
He got a smile that make the lilac wanna grow
He got a way that make the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by.
Full lyrics [3]here.
