|
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades, |
|
with her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades: |
|
Lenny Bruce declares a truce and plays his other hand. |
|
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand. |
|
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing. |
|
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing. |
|
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays "In the Mood". |
|
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, |
|
theres a smell of peach blossom and bitter almonde. |
|
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, |
|
He knows in a scent, you can bottle all you made. |
|
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, |
|
smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes. |
|
And as the song and dance begins, |
|
the children play at home with needles; needles and pins. |
