These aren’t easy to write - it’s hard to strike a balance between songs people will know and questions that are too easy. Here goes…  
31. Who was told, “kiss my ass, I bought a boat”?  
32. What does a patient boy do?  
33. Which city’s got the ways and means?  
34. Who likes his oatmeal lumpy?  
35. Where would you find a desperate man (although you might have to really look)?  
36. Who do the bad folks call “boss”?  
37. What have I been doing for seventeen long years?  
38. Where might you be sent when you’re out of luck or out of work?  
39. What kind of opportunity never knocks?  
40. Who takes himself so seriously?
