This was composed the time Sandy, Johnny and Blair went to the Great Big Picnic concert in Halifax. Sandy took a blackout and a young female paramedic came to his rescue. Suddenly he heard a guitar off in the distance and he knew it was "out of tune" so they knew at that point he was stable!

Button, Button, Who'se got the Button?

"In the early morning rain……"
Sandy, Johnny and Blair were feeling no pain

To the Great Big Picnic they went for fun
Much happened before the next rising sun

Blair was quickly removed from the hill
He bounced and tumbled just like Jack and Jill

Johnny got angry and raised hell
The result was a night spent in "Bubba's" cell

Sandy was desperate to have a leak
So a vacant port-o-potty he did seek

At the door he fell to the ground
He stared at the sky not uttering a sound

Jennifer rushed to help him out
She called to all who wandered about

A pretty, blond paramedic was first to arrive
As she tore open his shirt - he soon came alive

She proceeded to perform mouth-to-mouth
Sandy enjoyed every minute - pretending he was "out"

She asked him his age - he told a lie
"I just turned 19 the thirty-second of July!"

"Has this ever happened you before?" she asked
"Every other weekend" he said, hoping the moment would last

They were about to take him to the V. G.
Till Sandy mentioned the guitar he heard was out of key

They knew then he was feeling well
The BIG smile on his face - they could easily tell

Oh! How Sandy wishes he had asked for a date
Now he's back in Glendale - do you think it's too late?
