Summary: 

A number of years ago, a friend of mine had a library book that
contained hobo songs. These are songs passed on from generation to
generation by the hobo subculture. As I recall, the "I don't care"
song was in the book, so I suspect it predates Imus's use of it. Can
anyone else in the group confirm or deny this? By the way, I think
there are a number of other verses to the song, including

         I don't care if it's dark and scary
         'Long as I have magnetic Mary
         Ridin' on the dashboard of my car.
