[78-L] Rita in the Hay Worth ??

[David Lennick]

It occurs in his introduction to the hipster's (weed-smokers) anthem that he's 
just about to sing, which turns out to be Cement Mixer Put-ti Put-ti. Something 
something something, also known as How Much is Rita in the Hay Worth. (Haven't 
heard that thing in ages!)
