When George Fowler is in the cafe (the diner/hamburger joint where he has the argument with Ann), there is a song playing with a lyric that runs: "You can't love nine and still be mine." Later on, when other characters are in the eatery, that song is playing again, with lyrics stating, "You can't love three and still love me." Anybody know what song is that or was it just created for the movie?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
It's a "never-ending" type of camp song called Midnight Train; a step up from "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall":
Honey you can’t love one,
Honey you can’t love one,
You can’t love one
And still have fun
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love two,
Honey you can’t love two,
You can’t love two
And still be true
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love three,
Honey you can’t love three,
You can’t love three
And still love me
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love four,
Honey you can’t love four,
You can’t love four
And still want more
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love five,
Honey you can’t love five,
You can’t love five
And still be alive
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love six,
Honey you can’t love six,
You can’t love six
And so no more tricks
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love seven,
Honey you can’t love seven,
You can’t love seven
And still go to heaven
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love eight,
Honey you can’t love eight,
You can’t love eight
And still be great
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love nine,
Honey you can’t love nine,
You can’t love nine
And still be mine
I’m leaving on the midnight Train!
Honey you can’t love ten
Honey you can’t love ten
You can’t love ten so kiss me again
And the heck with the midnight train!
The voice sounded like Merle Haggard, though I guess it wasn't' the great man. Sounds like it was adapted on the cheap for use in this movie.
That ol' song sure has a lot of verses. Get on that midnight train already!
