I lost my marbles. Luckily, marbles are sold at WalMart, for dirt cheap.

Excellent SR
It's a play on words"Bedfordshire" Big Grin
The song was covered in the 60's by the Clevedonaires and the Small Faces
quote:

All the sounds around you,
Seem to have a new meaning,
Leave your body behind,
With a different feeling,
When you're slipping into sleep.
The day is night,
The night is day,
So squeeze out the light as I slip away,
Up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire,

The original Kids Rhyme verse goes:
quote:

Up the wooden hill To Bedfordshire,
Down Sheet Lane
To Blanket Fair.

Note I lost the original link this is a compromise Sry. Red Face

Terrific question, Mike! Why not posted it as Trivia at AP (I will, of course, refrain from answering)!
