Years back when I was young like you"

Boogie-woogie in classical manner.

While the glorious moons
Of her ass beat out rhythms to match.

He will often amaze
With the turn of a phrase --
No wonder he charges high fees.

Though the pedals wear holes in his socks.

Then his audience beats a retreat.

A favorite rock song of mine.
The double-entendre
Came from way up yonder--
Nova Scotia -- back in '69.
Ago they recorded that song.
I took poetic license,
And I took leave of my sense...
However I end this is wrong.
Who had no conception of danger.
I've heard that it's true
That he beat himself blue,
So deranged was this Ozie arranger.

But the words he despised,
So he called two more guys,
And they formed a verse writing committee.

Their own words in verse.

It ended with "Doo-wop" - the rest's history!

We thought it sufficient
To be hiply proficient.
The others just got drunk and played.

But its tales of rapine
Told with gerunds obscene,
Like Dizzy on free jazz, "I passes."

Is enormous; so girls give him head.
He shoots gallons of jizz,
But the truth of it is
Only Ella Fitzgerald in bed.

Played a guitar with one hand.
The other was busy,
In a blur - in a tizzy.
'Cause the drummer, he liked to be fanned.

And no word is wrong
If used for a song,
For then it's for ears and not eyes."
