So What is O'Riley Doing, In the Murphy Bed?

So here's something we don't see much - an entire song about Murphy Beds (well, one particular Murphy Bed belonging to a gentlemen by the name of O'Riley).  Leave it to the literate Irish to come up with a ballad about our only-on-rare-occasions glamorous subject, but here we have mystery and daring (missing persons, possible arson - and what's that about the policemen's ball?) all in a surprisingly catching diddy.

As YouTube singing sensation "threelegsoman" (A.K.A. Tony - I think) says:

"The Murphy Bed of the title is a clever space saving device.  When down and open, it is as the name suggests a bed, but when not in use it is lifted up from the foot end and folded into an alcove in the wall thus creating space in the room.  The thought crosses your mind though; 'what happens if someone is in the bed when it is folded away?'"

Sammy Gallop and Al Goodhart wrote the song.

Do you think they'll ever try one about Zoom-Room?
