Speaking of singdaw and cookies: Wasn't it Mrs. (Dorothy) Fields who wrote something like:
Singdaw, singdaw,
Everybody's traveling on a crazy singdaw.
Going up, down, up, down,
So, your life goes by,
Your either low or high
On the
Singdaw, singdaw,
You can dream you'll go anywhere you want to go
But that's not so...
Somehow you know,
The truth is nobody is goin' anywhere,
Nobody is gettin' anywhere...
So what if you never get anywhere?
A singdaw's a hell of a ride
One hell of a ride!
