Across the river rome is burning chanel #5 and a T-bone steak
is burning
at the poodle parlor the canine coiffeurs are burning and in
the poodle parlor parking
lot, the corvettes are burning and the cadillacs are burning
from the inside out this
time. And the riverbank is lined with excitement- I can't make
out what the people
are yelling to me so I'm smiling, waving, you know being friendly.

Uh, meanwhile back in the jungle over by the parthenon, some
hookers are making breakfast for a couple of guys. One got caught
in a bear trap and another got his arm blown off tossing a grenade
a herd of gazelles from an army chopper. Moaning and groaning
and in incredible pain and behind the plate glass in the Poodle
Parlor window, the dogs are barking, wagging their tails, tap-dancing
around all hi-strung and jittery
Set up the game scales, Marlin; we're poaching the last snafu
Up there in the cosmos the stars burning bright you can see
'em shinin' in the nite. over the parking lot where your car
got stolen
And we're getting in line, about ready to start ordering up
our chicken.
And the rats are flying around
And the mosquitos are crawling around in the parking lot
order up our chicken.

A (ascend) E - E (descend) (3X-9X depending)
