When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck, Sayin', "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya." At 7 p.m. the main hatchway gave in. He said, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya!"
--"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," Gordon Lightfoot
When a Broadway baby says "Good night," It's early in the morning. Manhattan babies don't sleep tight, Until the dawn: Good night, baby, Good night, Milkman's on his way.

In the evening... When the day is done I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come. So don't let her play you for a fool. She don't show no pity baby. She don't make no rules.

My baby takes the morning train.
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him.

Got no pearl
Still I think I'm a lucky girl
I got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night.

After sleeping with you
On the last night in July.

Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say?

Good mornin',
Good mornin' to you.

In the evening...
When the day is done I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come.
So don't let her play you for a fool.
She don't show no pity baby.
She don't make no rules.
Led Zeppelin
