INTRO:
“from ‘harvard to ‘handcuffs’…!”
“from ‘yale’ to ‘jail’…!”
“from ‘princeton’ to ‘prison’…!”
VERSE 1:
sailing down to ‘sumter’ to address his grievances
competing in the ‘negro leagues’…
breaking all the records…
(make the “all-time leader” list…)
REFRAIN 1:
you’re a ‘needy needle’…
i’m a ‘broken bottle’…
you’re a ‘lethal evil’…
(….i’m your oldest rival…)
(*GUITAR SOLO*)
(key change)
REFRAIN 2:
you’re a ‘true believer’…
i’m a ‘baby bible’…
you’re a lethal evil…
…i’m your oldest rival…
PART 2:
calling on the choir…
seeking your acceptance…
born in the ‘batter’s box’…
(…back to the ‘on-deck entrance…)
too many people won’t go…
too many people said no…
OUTRO:
here comes the wind-up…
step in and don’t back away
do you hear what i say?
i’m getting ready
last night you turned me away
i’m feeling lucky today…
pied piper…
i’d better get back in bed…
