Story behind the song
a song written ass-backwards...
existed for a few years as basically a long a'cappela exercise. then I played it for $bill and we commenced to shoe horn instruments in, through and around it!
Lyrics
The accomplished fashion show strutter,
Barnyard clucker
Seaweed wear-away danger
Pointed at the target
Sir Isaac gets out... of town
White as a sheet in the Fall collection
Older than Mohito
Last of the Mohicans
White gemstone is a dog's reward
Easter has ended and I still don't have a creative thought
Looking at ideas like a fire gone out;
Among the elms and evergreens
Breathing air like the biggest bear
The mannerly men say "cut it out!"
And the antlered animal is the prize of the fabric
Folds in the octopus arms
Check it out,
Comforting words are quite uncommon
Rate of walking for one listening as we go
Arrange the business suits in addition to the work
Electric doorway, toil over, ending in "not guilty!"
Blue as a vowel in the French Connection
Hotter than aloha – a lei, a wrap, a boa
Pisces moon is a dog's reward
Excuse the accused for refusing to lose
And choosing his new zoot suit!
Siren assistant, baby powder, hare gel
"Look who just showed up"
Competing for special attention
Poor grade, short on long division
Stating the story as it fizzles out
Two-tone armor is prompting a please
Ala carte, hasta la vista
Baby ballet
One of the great yak-yak cut into smaller pieces
King Lear on the A-team
Relative rabbit,
Female mouse-catching device
we're leaping out...
