Marvin, he was a friend of mine…
I hear you’re goin’ through some changes
I hear your friends all turn their backs on you
And now you’re hangin’ round with strangers
Now just be careful who you’re talkin’ to
Oh Nicole, my sweet Nicole
(Point Blank - Nicole)
***Oliver’***s army is here to stay
Oliver’s army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today.
-Elvis Costello
Please good Missus, a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry.
One for Peter, two for Paul.
Three for Him who made us all.
Crap - forgot q.
I think we left out Q.
Yeah, I nuked my entry. Oops.

Crap! It’s already been done!
Mississippi Queen,
You know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
(I think we need a bit of poetic license for Q and X)
Rhianna!
She was five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle and she knew how to scuffle and fight
And the roller derby program said
That she was built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her fans call her “Tuffy” but all her buddies called her "Spike"
Jim Croce, Roller Derby Queen
Tommy used to work on the docks.
The union’s been on strike.
He’s down on his luck.
- “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, “Spells,** Ursula**, please!”
And I help them!
Yes I do
– “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, from The Little Mermaid
And when no hope was left inside, on one starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
-Don McLean
Wendy, Wendy what went wrong
Oh so wrong
We went together for so long
Some little group from California.
Pope Paul, Malcolm X,
British politicians’ sex,
JFK blown away,
What else do I have to say?
I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah,
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda.
S-o-d-a, soda.
I saw a little runt sitting there on a log.
I asked him his name, and in a raspy voice, he said, “Yoda.
Y-o-d-a, Yoda.
Yo-yo-yo-yo-yoda!”
-Weird Al Yankovic
Hello Mr. Zebra
Can I have your sweater
Cause it’s cold cold cold
In my hole hole hole
- Tori Amos, “Mr. Zebra”
Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis?
Hey baby, are we losing touch?
REM - Man in the Moon
I knew a man Bojangles and he’d dance for you / In worn out shoes /
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants / The old soft shoe
