lyric of the day

I bought three Squirrel Nut Zippers albums last week and have been listening to them constantly. One stanza in particular always gets me:

Met the ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise
This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes:
"Ships were made for sinking,
Whiskey made for drinking,
If we were made of cellophane, we’d all get stinking drunk much faster" ha ha ha ha

Of course you really need to hear the song to get the full effect, but there it is - my lyric of the day.
