While this is a fairly recent song by OKOM standards (1980), it's still 30
years old. Pop music sheets seldom stay in print that long unless they're a
huge hit. 

Two years ago I spent 20-30 hours searching every corner of the Internet for
a piano/vocal sheet, or any other sheet music for this tune, and couldn't
find it. I ended up creating a lead sheet by ear, from the George Burns
performance on YouTube.
