My goodness Bev, you must have a lot of time on your hands!  And I must have too much time on my hands to try to figure out your puzzles after thoroughly enjoying the song.  Billy Joel would be proud to have packed so much into so few verses. 

Should those of us who have tried to figure out the puzzle PM you with our answers?

I sent you my guesses by PM.  Hope that's OK
