Now see, Gams, what I find funny about those lyrics is "cosmic jacuzzi". Hee hee! Again, only a true songwriter would come up with that.
from "Beauty School Drop-Out" from the musical "Grease"
Beauty SCHOOL DROPout, No graduation day for you. Beauty school dropout, Missed your midterms and flunked shampoo! Well at least you could have taken time, to wash and clean your clothes up, After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up!

Phalon, you know, people refer to reading my mind as Dumpster Diving. Hope you didn't have to stay long. She's So Fine ~ Bruce Springsteen Hey baby Well she's vicious as a razorResting on your mainline She's brutal as an ace Laid on the table at just the right time She's like a devil-woman But she's locked in over-drive Her eyes are cold stone But she's backed by a power-glide She's sweet, she's educated She knows about history, geometry She's so fine Next: Razor It reminds you of all the fun froggy things! Like the wide mouthed frog joke. Or these.. A computer programmer happens across a frog in the road. The frog pipes up, "I'm really a beautiful princess and if you kiss me, I'll hang out with you for a week". The programmer shrugs his shoulders and puts the frog in his pocket. A few minutes later, the frog says "OK, OK, if you kiss me, I'll be your girlfriend for a week". The programmer nods and puts the frog back in his pocket. A few minutes later, "Turn me back into a princess and I'll be your girlfriend for a whole year!". The programmer smiles and walks on. Finally, the frog says, "What's wrong with you? I've promised lots of fun with a beautiful princess for a whole year and you won't even kiss a frog?" "I'm a programmer," he replies. "I don't have time for girls.... But a talking frog is pretty neat." == TOP TEN REASONS WHY IT'S GREAT TO BE A FROG 10. Babes are always kissing you because they think you'll turn into a prince. 9. Flies in your soup are a bonus. 8. You're above toads on the food chain. 7. Green goes with absolutely everything! 6. Pond Scum is a term of endearment. 5. Most restaurants have a "no croaking" section. 4. Amphibians are at a minimum risk of appearing on Geraldo. 3. You can scratch hard to reach places with your tongue. 2. You can donate your body to science for big bucks! 1. It sure beats being a newt. What's green and dangerous? A frog with a hand-grenade. What do you say to a hitch-hiking frog? Hop in! What happens when two frogs collide? They get tongue tied! What kind of shoes do frogs wear? Open toad! But mostly, it’s just such an incongruous statement. I’m sure Kermit and company would have something to say…

Pirates of Penzance
I soon found out, beyond all doubt, the scope of this disaster, But I hadn't the face to return to my place, and break it to my master. A nurs'rymaid is not afraid of what you people call work, So I made up my mind to go as a kind of piratical maid-of-all-work. And that is how you find me now, a member of your shy lot, Which you wouldn't have found, had he been bound apprentice to a pilot.
Next: Disaster

Good song, Gams.
from "The Love You Save" by the Jackson 5, IMO one of the very best Motown's tunes. Such energy in that recording.

from "Memory", from the Broadway show "Cats", here performed by Betty Buckley, who introduced the song, and won the Tony Award for it
Betty sings the song in the last part of this vid, but the whole thing is worth a look. She's marvelous. The audience is perfectly silent during "Memory", and the applause just goes on and on. And Johnny is plainly very impressed. (Man, I miss him. IMO, talk shows have never again had his level of class, hilarity, professionalism, and intelligence.)
Midnight, not a sound from the PAVEMENT Has the moon lost her memory She is smiling alone In the lamplight, the withered LEAVES collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan

The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sun-burned hands I used to hold
