"Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been drinking my Labatt's ale"


I imagine I was sitting out on a lawn chair at the time this came out, with my brother and father - who was more of a Labatt's than a Molson guy. I would have barely been in school, and somehow it stuck. But, ya gotta admit - it DOES sound like it.
