Hi, raccoon:

How about Long John Baldry's epic:

'You Don't Wanna Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock & Roll'?

Jack.

I gave you a brand new Ford, but you said "I want a Cadillac"

I bought you a ten dollar dinner, you said "Thanks for the snack"

I let you live in my penthouse, you said it was just a shack

I gave you seven children, and now you want to give them back!!!!

Haven't heard of that song but have heard of him (he put out an album a few years ago). Back in the 60s, of course, a bandmate of his named Reg Dwight decided to take a stage name based on that of ELTON Dean and Long JOHN Baldry :)

Trivia: bluesmen PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council inspired
the name of a certain Brit band :)

Ever hear bluesman Roy Book Binder? He does a lot of talking in between songs...and he once played a song by Bo Carter
(probably something like "My Pencil Won't Write No More").
Roy said "Bo Carter is the master of the single entendre..." :)
