The Beaten Knack
Immoral they told us, Raucus and roll us,
Street rap...is, Car rap,
Razzmatazz, Jumpin' jazz,
Fusion bluesion, Cacophony confusion,
Heavy Metal, Screetchy scratchy,
Drum beat, Tap your feet,
Call sick old music, Classical music,
Ragtime raga, Keep the rhythm, With'em,
Bluegrass up yerass, Dixieland in your hand,
Zippy Zydeco, Flamin' Flamenco,
Music video, Radio vertigo,
Chopin, Showtunes, Chauvinistic, Pianistic
Light opera, Light show, Up beat, Down beat,
Meet your beat, With hands and feet,
Fat chance, Flashdance,
Sing your song, Dingdong,
How many harmonies, in hominy,
My ladies, melodies are maladies, ill at ease,
Tuneful spoonful, melancholy baby,
Maybe
