jump back, jack

gotta jump back, jack,
turn around in the sound saddle,
rattle the eardrums off her,
cough or sing or ring a-ding
or some such thing to get
the attention of the deaf....
how could anyone forget
that left foot right foot lead, man,
damn it! it's kinetic! memory's in
the doin', the motion, the madness,
the cagney impression, not to mention
the athletic perspective, the poetic invective,
and the goddamn chant of
neat, petite, sweet ...
life is like a museum on a side street,
gotta get away, gotta go out and play,
do the tango, the ooo pappa fandango,
trip the fantastico light, bro,
go go go, ya got it goin' on!
do the jitterbug, the wa-wa-watusi, da hip-hop
fox trot, do it in the mornin', do it 'til ya drop,
it's a wild world out there, gomez,
pay homage to the dead, rise up instead,
hold onto yer heart, make some banana bread,
wrap yer bandana on yer head, and jam man!
no need to make a wish fer dear morticia,
she's doin' the vamp with a cloud somewhere...
do the funky monkey if ya dare!
it ain't fair but it's a blast ... sky's bright
not overcast ... drive dat convertable buggy and park it.
check ya out in the supermarket!
