Thanks, I'll fix the credit.

 It's very difficult to get this right sometimes. In the ASCAP repretoire database, no distinction is made between the composer and lyricist. Sometimes I'm familiar with the composer's work, so I search no further. If I'm not familiar,  that leaves doing a web search in order to find a page someplace that mentions who in the tune's credits did the composing and who wrote the lyrics. When that fails, I sometimes get it wrong. Fortunately, a reader will come forward  after awhile to set me straight.
