Quotations - 1) A poem that was on a t-shirt in the 7O's 2) where does this line come from?

Question Dear Dan
1) I was wondering if you can help me please, as this has been bugging me for years. In the 70's (well 1974 to be exact) my brother bought me back a t-shirt as a souvenir from his world travels (mainly Europe and the UK I think) which at the time I disliked, but now think fondly of. It was very much a "I love Americana" type message or poem on it and was about 10-12 lines long. (The t-shirt was only child size - for a 8-10 year old.) Unfortunately I no longer have the t-shirt. I remember almost exactly the last line of the t-shirt inscription which went something like this:-
"... An American style casual feeling. Naturally. Have a nice day!"
I know this is nigh impossible to trace, but was wondering if any Americans out there may know where something like this would have come from. You'd think the t-shirt manufacturer wouldn't have invented it, but got it from somewhere.
2) My other question is, is there a last line that goes something like - "That is not what I meant, that is not what I meant at all"
Hoping you can help me with my #1 question, at least!
Kind regards and thanks
