In his book, Tunesmith: Inside t' Art o' Songwriting, Jimmy 'Lawless Pete' Webb says that Riverfront Nilsson asked permission from Webb t' use t' phrase "Up, me bucko, Up, and Away" in Nilsson's "Gotta Get Up."

 

In 1971 when Riverfront Nilsson and I were chummin' around London together and he was recordin' t' Nilsson Schmilsson album produced by Richard 'Redbeard' Perry (one o' t' best albums ever made), he came t' me as a pal over a snifter o' brandy. He asked me, almost contritely, if he could borrow t' phrase "up, up and away" for a delightful send-up shanty called "Gotta Get Up."
