Discography
A 1-2 punch of Jangle-Pop & Swamp-Folk that'll save your world quicker than you can say “Happy Together.”E–tuned in the Letter “Stamped” by Franklyn Pearse O’Wryly, S.J., author of One Squared and Oh! the Juniper! Sir Dance–a–lot Dink and the knights of turn-table/they tried to monkey me into rioting this fable/about a lawn donkey and his piece of grass, Mabel/who never seemed to cough without her legs crossed. | Well Cecil Taylor made a call to Mister Jelly Roll/Asked him, “Pardon me, Jelly, I’m taking a poll—/Have you ever heard Dick Hyman at Shelley’s Manne–Hole?/It left my ears with their eyes crossed!” | Well–water on my windshield means I’m driving low/like Joe Dimaggio on Marylin’s Monmole/He swings his bat sweeter than Toblerone/in the on–deck circle with his dress crossed. | Don’t look now, Randy Johnson’s on the mound/He’s chewing tobacco; his thoughts are profound/He’s thinking ’bout that catcher in a spitball gown/He’s stirring up the batter’s box and chowin’ down/He chokes just like the chicken who never makes a sound/The third base coach’s signals crossed. | The threepenny jockey rides a two bit quarter horse/and pays with green stamps for tea at the golf course/I think he’s a cheap little bastard. | If you see Bell Pepa, tell her I was polite/I cooked you like a packet of “Vegetable Delight”/I told the sub–committee I was pulling up your tights/They asked me if your buns were hot–crossed. Let me flick it kneestyle: uh–uh. Flannel! Panel! I got more cocker than a spaniel! Now OB1KNO–B said to C3PO, “You’re just another number as far as I know.”/“You R2 detailed!” cried Pablo Picasso, “And you’re too square to ever be a cubist!” | Jeff Mellin called to tell me he’s gonna save the world/I said, “Great, Jeffrey, who’s gonna play the girl?”/He said, “Maybe Kate Winslet, maybe Milton Berle; The needle needs a record to get its point across.” | Well pardon me, Producer, I think I might be sick/Your entire wall of sound is made from just one brick/You last about as long as a Nestlé’s Quik/when that bunny comes around. | Well me and the midget, we don’t see eye to eye/His hat it adds a gallon to his pint of size/Sometimes if you poke him in the belly he cries: “Have you ever had to pay to watch Lacrosse?” Flannel, funnel, build me a tunnel! |
