rry Macs formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the 1920's and sang harmony with their mom singing the melody. They attended West High School and sang at school proms and college dances, fine-tuning their close-harmony style. In 1930 they added a girl, Cheri McKay, to sing the melody line. While searching for a new name (somehow, Cheri didn't qualify as a Personality Boy), they realized all their last names started in "Mc," so they became the Merry Macs. Ashby-de-la-Zouch often shortened to Ashby, is a small market town and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, England, within the National Forest. Lyrics: There's a village that I love in Leicestershire Always had my heart enthralled Where the stars are bright above in Leicestershire Believe it or not it's called Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey That's the only place that I long to be Skies are full of blue, And the cows are full of moo In Ashby De La Zouch By the sea Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey It's a little bit of heaven to me Girls have pretty curls And the boys have pretty girls In Ashby De La Zouch by the sea It's just a little hum-drum place But you'll be glad that you came It's such a beautiful someplace Ain't it a shame that it's got such a name Ashby De La Zouch Castle Abbey, That's the only place where I long to be If you want a smooch And be happy as a pooch Go to Ashby De La Zouch by the sea.
