I hate to be pedantic but it's "Is this the way to Amarillo?".

[gg333]

thanks to you both anyway.....

I hate to be pedantic too thewillow (actually, no, I don't!) but it is called (Is this the way to) Amarillo?

[sft42]

Actually bob it's listed in the Guinness as just "Is this the way to Amarillo" (no ()'s listed) catelogue number MCA MKS 5073.....number 18 in November 1971.....by, as stated, Tony Christie (originally Tony Fitzgerald)......

....Or you could sing like what I used to do in the band....."is this the way to hammer a brillo!"

[gg333]

glad I have stimulated such a mass debate (?)...either way I'll attempt to obtain. Meanwhile who can land me the web-site of the full lyrics to the song. Sick of the missus singing "is this the weight of half my D*ldo?"...
