Playing the cymbals
Was a challenge for me so
I took a crash course.
I took a cash course
Now they won’t let me back in
At astronaut school
At astronaut school
Weightless simulation was
Fun, but we all puked.
Fun, but we all puked
On our chaperone, who turned
Three shades of purple
“Three Shades of Purple”
My idea ripped off by
The Fifty/Gray folk
The Fifty/Gray folk
half a hundred Confed’rates
not in my backyard!
Not in my backyard!
I will not allow you to
Build a moon rocket
Build a moon rocket
Like it’s nineteen fifty four
Just you and your dog
Just you and your dog
And kitty makes three, happy
In your blue heaven
In your blue heaven
Some butter pecan ice cream?
If not, count me out
If not, count me out;
although mint chocolate chip
would be most welcome
Would “Be most welcome”
Be a good message to put
On your front door mat?
On your front door mat
Your cat is now meowing
To come back inside.
To come back inside
would be the smart thing to do.
I’m staying outside.
I’m staying outside
The lines as I color, I
Like to rouse rabble
“Like to rouse rabble
But not to raise a ruckus”
So stated the rogue
So stated the rogue
But the other cosmetics
Were oddly silent
Were oddly silent
no doubt thinking of the rouge
like cosmetics do
Like cosmetics do
If you don’t wise up I’ll give
You forty lashes
You forty lashes
Replaced the originals
And no one noticed
