Hey Keith,
I haven’t figure out the bass part yet, workin’ on it now while the moon is waning and the sky smiles on me, but this here may be another song for the Phlatscreen Filosopher album! It may slide right in there between “Made In The U.S.A.(tm)” and “It’s Only Duct Tape & Spit.” Check it out and please let me know if you have any recommendations on time signature.
Bananas, Nutjobbers & Corduroy Bellbottoms
Every style comes back around
Fascism is back in town this season!
Just like the wisest prophets and Grandma always said
It would be
Here before any of the other -isms
After the fall of consumer and capital
Letters and notes, though,
Never go out of style.
Here’s another Grandma-ism:
Keep careful note, pages if you have to,
Of how many licks it takes
To get back to the center
And mind your lollipop wrappers
And hold on to what and who matter most
Platforms and bell-bottoms in corduroy
Coming this fall say the trusty old marketing catalogs
Don’t anyone read any more?
This fall.
It’ll be here before you know it.
Some of the squirrels and sparrows have gathered
Plenty enough nuts for the winter
Maybe this squirrel will make like a monkey
And enjoy the summer
In the sun drenched evergreen treetops
Remembering how to properly peel a banana
Did you know there’s more than one way?
We were taught, we remember.
We were taught all wrong, we are now told
By a bull worm in a rotten apple
Every style comes back around
