Champaign

Knick knack, turtle wax
On your brother's brand new car
Sober in the promenade
While you dance toward heaven's door
Lovely Sandra Dee
She dons a pink chiffon
Slowly he slicks his hair
With Elvis on the floor

Sweet, said Rita, Goodbye
I just had to say I had a wonderful time
The light of the moon, and the flowers still to bloom
The sweet smell of perfume...it lingers

Click clack, Kerouac
Walking out your neighbor's stately door
High stepped, he moves impressed
With their ballarina-daughter's champagne
Lovely Pinky Lee
Asks before the chamber of the board
May she, Pinky Lee, run with Jack
Away to New Orleans

Sweet, said Rita, Goodbye
I just had to say I had a wonderful time
The light of the moon, and the flowers still to bloom
The sweet smell of perfume...it lingers
