I happen to like New York I happen to like this town I like the city air, I like to drink of it The more I know New York The more I think of it I like the sight, the sound, and even the stink of it I happen to like New York
"Will my pony recognize my voice in hell? Will he still be blind or do they go by smell? Will you promise not to rest me out at sea? But on a fiery river boat thats rickety."

I happen to like New York
I happen to like this town
I like the city air,
I like to drink of it
The more I know New York
The more I think of it
I like the sight, the sound, and even the stink of it
I happen to like New York
(Cole Porter)
Hear how the wind begins to whisper
See how the leaves go streaming by
Smell how the velvet rain is falling
Out where the fields are warm and dry
"Soon It's Gonna Rain" from "The Fantasticks"
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Lynyrd Skynyrd
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air...
"Hotel California," The Eagles
I used to think vaguely of it being "coitus" but whatever. :-) And "Smells Like Nirvana" by Weird Al doesn't have that word in the lyrics... bummer.
Strumming my six string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginning to boil
Margaritaville
Jimmy Buffet
He had a rifle in his hands
And cheap whiskey on his breath
"The Night Santa Went Crazy"
Weird Al
Open up your window
let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
from the smell of stale perfume
and that cigarette you're smokin'
Mama Told Me Not To Come
I remember it the Three Dog Night version, tho it was written by Randy Newman
And the smell of the rain-washed pavement
Comes up clean and fresh and bold
And the streetlamp light fills the gutter with gold
"My Time of Day" from "Guys and Dolls"
"Will my pony recognize my voice in hell?
Will he still be blind or do they go by smell?
Will you promise not to rest me out at sea?
But on a fiery river boat thats rickety."
