a boy with a drum
told me ba-boom-boom-bum
this life’s all rhythm!
it’s in and out
hit it and rest
do your best
to make the dance fun
so I listened and hummed
and knew yes, yes, rhythm it is
rhythm is this, what bliss, what bliss
a girl with a knife
told me aaaaargh! this life’s
carving your way through tangled-up strife
it’s jab and slice
till your space is nice
and free of that sticky
icky mess all about the out-
and insides
so I tried to feel alive
and knew yes, that’s right,
so far it’s all fight
a man with a cup
told me drink up, drink up
what luck that life’s
got teats to suck, but
grab yer gulp now
cuz ‘fore you can say ‘wow,’ hup!
that’s it, yer all dried up
so I savored and sighed
felt yes, oh my, the flavor’s so fine, and
knew its time would very soon fly
a woman in the nude
told me heeey, dude,
this life’s me and you,
you and me being truly true
really real with deep-down feel,
we making we squeal with glee…
just leave all those other spiels
for another ride ‘round life’s wheel
and come with me
so I came, with thee,
(hee hee hee hee!)
and knew no more
