A Christmas Carol
An extract from the song by Tom Lehrer
From the album Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer

Hark, the Herald Tribune sings,
Advertising wondrous things.
God rest ye merry merchants,
May ye make the Yuletide pay.
Angels we have heard on high,
Tell us to go out and buy!
= Hear, thank,the ruggedly Media
Enlarges buyers hysteria !
Greedy shopman, God rest,
Wish you all much 'Holiday-invest'. Winged saint, heaven sent,
Thud -"Go to market buy or rent!

The US Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. = Hi. I'm a bigot. I can't stand all the different races in the land -- Negros, Jews, Yellows, Latinos, Hindu, etc. But I love diet cola, hot coffee, pie, beer, pudding. A fat rural idiot thing. = I, B.H. Obama, new leader of the Free World, just one ebony politician, plight to change the racists' sullied attitude, indict infective drug dealers, and also fight inflation

Abraham Lincoln

= Hi, hi! Now I'm President of The United States of America. Simply any worthy guy or schoolgirl can replace me...Oh, even that impolitic shaky yahoo - Bush!

Martin Luther King, Jr.

= Homo homini lupus est?
In GOD we trust! He created us even.
White lad, Ebony lad, Red one, have natal heart, head, teeth, etc... Fine, equal, fair treatment is still vital trade.

James Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Member of Parliament for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath=Our mentioned front chief,(replacing Tony Blair), British Premier from London, Ten Downing Street - rather bad joke with bad karma. Kind of deranged mean madman.

by Pink Floyd

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're ok.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.
= Aha, that economy crisis worldwide!
Aha, many banks misguide
America, UK and Japan -
A huge mess had began!
And who able to fathom a mystery,
To free that vagary-tort totally?
Go to work, baby!

by Sri Chinmoy

Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.
= Not man to lead,
Not a living leader to vote for,
Not even a notable artist,
Not the living legend,
Not a living societies voice.
He edgy,
He's only...

Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'
from the opening song of the musical Oklahoma!, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin'
Ev'rything's goin' my way
= Hey, what a woeful evenin'
Hey , what a baleful night
I got a fruity findin'
Ambiguous amorality about

A Very Short Song
by Dorothy Parker

Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.

Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.
= In my eerie youth
I was in love and abandoned,
But, (take as a truth),
He is not my rake husband

Bewitchin' lust is for weak fool
Bewitchin' lust works not
Stay fresh, dear, more cool,
Regret keen verve, a clot!

Lord Acton

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. = Actually, G.W.B. and T.B. are two most reprobate men, real potty rascals, presumptuous leaders... O, no wonder! [T.B.: Tony Blair] = Maybe new leader Obama proposes true new start, strong way, support to a tart old cruel bold Uncle Sam.

Ebony And Ivory
by Paul McCartney
from the album Tug Of War

Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh Lord, why don't we?
=Yoh, my good men! Anybody, everybody,
White or Black. We're divine sons of
Planet Earth. No hidden priority!
=Hi, dodo boy, phony biddy!
Oh, my lady granny!
Now we have black President -
Is time for everyone to reorient!

The Eagle
part of a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Ringed with the azure world, he stands
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls
= Around him most blue wilderness, he halts.
The crinkled water under feet;
Hills habitant which gazes them swath,
And like an arrow he falls down.

Swift's Epitaph
by William Butler Yeats

Swift's Epitaph
by William Butler Yeats

Swift has sailed into his rest;
Savage indignation there
Cannot lacerate his breast.
Imitate him if you dare,
World-besotted traveller; he
Served human liberty
= To West visitor

Here rests in peace
Peace in the Middle East.
Rabin, Bibi or Sharon
Muffled,- 'What's goin' on ?'
Israel is a rightful state,
But that evil Islam hate.
Wryly, deadly vile beast
Try war in the Mideast

Karl Marx

The workers have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to gain. Workers of the world, unite!
= Labourers, after chains withdrew, they shall have the right to good work, to own union...even to strike, eh!

The Rich Man
first paragraph of the poem by Franklin P. Adams

The rich man has his motor car,
His country and his town estate.
He smokes a fifty-cent cigar
And jeers at Fate
= Indigent one hasn't any auto,
Hasn't home or asset.
He chews crack-toffy.
If character's timid - Stars jeer at him

You Are My Destiny
by Paul Anka

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are

You have my sweet caress
You share my loneliness
You are my dream come true
That's what you are

Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
'Cause I'd be a fool
To ever leave you dear
And a fool I'd never be

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
That's what you are

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are

You are my misery
You steal my liberty
You are my soreness
That's what you are

Your adhesion, ah, so severe
Your presence, ah, so dire
You're my dream of heavy dread
That's what you are

Hell or inferno alone
Sent your pure venom to me
Because I'm a dupe
To live near a demon wretch
I'm even asinine!

You are my heavy faker
You steal my heyday
You're a disease to me
That's what you are

You are my achy fever
You steal my heaven
You're even a vampire
That's what you are

House of the Rising Sun
(the Animals version)

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was gambling man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all a-drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun

Well I've got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
=There is no house in New Orleans
They named the Rising Sun.
O, home ruined and no girls!
If playboy back, await to none.

My mother 'gewgaw' - a slut
(No one wears her jeans),
Flabby malt-man my dad,
I swim in new New Orleans.

Only thing inebriated needs -
Nice malt and whiskey glass.
He 'fluent' when he harassed kids -
Brutal emotional nut... Alas!

Oh, parents, hold in! Your honeys!
Don't smite them, ward is done.
Your children alive; not in the evil
House of the Rising Sun.

That pond - town New Orleans - thrall!
We fight hotfoot. Gone,never back!
'NO!' to that home of illegal,
To inebriate or to maniac.

There is no house in New Orleans
They named the Rising Sun.
Heal it! Only power of beauty wins!
Look, bad and criminal gone!

My Sharona
by The Knack

Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
= Ooh, my fatty one, my fatty one
When you gonna wake up, it's time, Sharon-a?
Ooh, I cry again, cry more again
Ooh, guns rule home tonight, don't give up.
Evil enemy minds, here, get up for hostility
of the rotten, scurvy kind...not plenum, torture momentum
My my my i yi woo M M M My poor Sharon-a?

Lewis Carroll

I said it in Hebrew, I said it in Dutch,
I said it in German and Greek;
But I wholly forgot (and it vexes me much)
That English is what you speak
I tried in Hindi, Mexicano,
Language of Mikados, Yiddish
Twenty which live, but a nitwit (hurts!)
Omitted Shakespeare's language--British

by John Lennon (video)

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine no lie, wars!
Ooh, and nobody ignores
Hungry and poor -
Everybody sated and secure!

Imagine there's no borders
Just friends and supporters.
Ooh, no rivalry in Middle East -
There is understanding and peace!

Ooh, imagine no eerie murders!
Ooh, eliminate killers or slaughters!
Just emotion, beaus and lovers,
Daffodils, lilies ...Ooh, eye flowers!

Ooh, imagine no 'filthy',weepy', 'uncleanly'!
Ooh, eliminate 'unhappy','awfully unhealthy'!
Ooh, only 'gently', 'lovely',
'Wealthy', 'politely'!

Ooh, imagine no woe, plague, no pain!
Light, Titillation to obtain.
Ooh, Bloom, Love, Amity!
Ooh, life like total Amenity!

Wait, imagine thee - NO MAMMON!
