[pete1951]

Can anyone tell me the first 2 lines of `Good Advice` My ears just can`t hear the words clearly. Even though I`m from the deep south [Bournmouth].

[percythewonderant]

It should be-

Grandma told me was good advice,
What Grandma told me was good advice,
What Grandma told me it was good advice,
Just keep on going, if you're sure your'e right.

You might have to get yourself an ear trumpet for the rest of it though! - I just went and found the track and stuck it in the computer and to me the next bit sounds like

You strain and you nap you swoggle count
A Blind Man Beg but
A fool he Gamble,
A Barking Dog will seldom bite,
But darn and the dog will come to the light.

The bit after that seems to be prescient about the current president or

You cant tell Obama, (a woman), from your lover,
you can't tell a book by looking at the cover.

You could try-

You strain an you sweat an you’s work’ll ‘ll count
A Blind Man Beg but
A fool he Gamble,
A Barking Dog will seldom bite,
But dark and the dog will come to the light.
You cant tell a woman, from your lover,
you can't tell a book by looking at the cover.

Etc. wellquite clear there then. I'm glad we cleared that up between us Ahem..........

How ever hard it is to work it out please remember the 'good advice' given elsewhere in these pages, 'Never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.'.
