Made up a better one:

"Let's buy lawn dough."  (from Spanish _bailando_ "dancing")

Or, "you've been sleeping in Elton John's piano".  (also means one is
spoiled, has it too easy, or lives in a dream world)

"He's painting the milk white" also.

A few more:

"Bare nekkid lady in the road!"  (means "look out")
"Don't play the shell game with God."  (means "it's hopeless")
"He rode in on a pink camel wearing a pyramid."  (means one is pompous or
draws too much attention to self)
"Ask the Candace."  (Don't trouble me.  A Techian expression; the Candace is
usually the queen mother, or even the queen herself.)
"Thiry stone and no knees."  (The bigger they are, the harder they fall.)
