Best lines in a song


There has been a long-running thread here of 'Best quotes' but maybe it would be interesting to find out folks' favorite lines from songs. To keep it on some sort of track, let's have a few ground rules.

- Attribution is required, who sang it (or wrote it) and where can we hear it?
- Shorter is better, four lines maximum, a verse. These should be words of wisdom that can be summoned for inspiration in social emergencies.
- If you're an opera fan, you're welcome to post in Italian, just don't expect many high fives from the monolingual among us.

I'll throw out a couple for starters:

When you're rockin' and a rollin' you can't hear your momma call.
Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly

All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun.
All I want in this life and time is some hit and run.

"Please ignore, that you found me on the floor, trying on your camisole"

"I pity all you working stiffs, living wondering what if, what if someday I were free"

"I'm only hanging on, to watch you go down...my love"

"You can swallow or you can spit, you can throw it up or choke on it"

...dropping a barbell he points to the sky, the sun's not yellow it's chicken. Dylan

Just found this thread and I can't believe no one has posted this one yet.

Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
