The Lyrics
It isn't swell, this news:
I'm gonna mine
This song longer--slog through a slew.
Then, retirin'.
I MEAN retirin'!
I've figured my gambit--
That's to lay 'em down,
'cause I've had a damn fit--
Again, my bellowing muse came 'round.
A bunch o' "Spell"s I'll do
From time to time. . .
That rhyme.
I will do
Sixty-two
More, then--whew!--
I'll be through: this I vow
When I've put there
A hundred times three
Bear with me now
Here's the thing
That I am tellin' you:
The culpa's mine.
I'm gonna mine
This song longer--slog through a slew.
Then, retirin'.
I MEAN retirin'!
I've figured my gambit--
That's to lay 'em down,
'cause I've had a damn fit--
Again, my bellowing muse came 'round.
A bunch o' "Spell"s I'll do
From time to time. . .
That rhyme.
I will do
Sixty-two
More, then--whew!--
I'll be through: this I vow
When I've put there
A hundred times three
Bear with me now
Here's the thing
That I am tellin' you:
The culpa's mine.

Thanks, Alvin--nope, 300 I think is all anyone, including me, can bear.
It's amazing what you can do with one song.
