[78-L] 78-L And the winner is...(was Funny Town Names)

[Jim Shulman]

Oh I'm Melvin Rose of Texas
And my friends all call me Tex
When I lived in old New Mexico
They used to call me Mex 

When I lived in old Kentucky
They called me Old Kentuck
I was born in old Shamokin
Which is why they call me Melvin Rose

Allan Sherman beat us all to the punch.
