HOW LONG?
HOW LONG WILL THEY REMEMBER YOU?
AS LONG AS BEETHOVEN?
AS LONG AS RIMBAUD?
AS LONG AS NAPOLEON?
AS LONG AS VAN GOGH?
OH, HAVE NO FEAR
THE MOON WILL REMEMBER YOU
OH HOW SHE SWOONED
WHEN YOU CROONED
OH HOW YOU WOOED HER
TO YOUR BIG BRASS BED
HOW YOU SHTUPPED HER
UNTIL IT DAWNED ON HER
THAT YOU HAD FOOLED HER
THEN YOU DUELED HER
UNTIL SHE MOONED YA
YOU FUMED
FELT DOOMED
UNTIL YOU DENIED YOU
EVEN KNEW HER
BUT THE MOON WILL REMEMBER YOU
HOW LONG WILL THEY LISTEN TO YOU?
AS LONG AS BEETHOVEN
AS LONG AS MOZART
GILBERT & SULLIVAN
RAVEL
HOW LONG WILL THEY REMEMBER YOU?
AS LONG AS THE PYRAMIDS
AS LONG AS THE SPHINX
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
CAVE DRAWINGS OF THE BEAST?
THE STARS WILL WELCOME YOU
YOU, WHO SHINED SO TRUE
YOU, WHO HAD NO CHOICE
WHO COULD SING SO WELL
BUT HAD SUCH A LOUSY VOICE
THE ANGELS WILL SING YOUR PRAISES
YOU, WHO MISTAKENLY GARBLED YOUR PHRASES
BUT WHO GARGLED DELIBERATELY
IN ALL THOSE RAT RACE FACES
HO SPAT WORDS IN THE FACE
OF ACCEPTED SENSE AND BAD TASTE
OH THE ANGELS WILL DANCE FOR YOU
HOW LONG WILL THEY REMEMBER YOU?
AS LONG AS THE TAROT?
THE ORACLES OF GREECE?
THE GLYPHS OF THE MAYA?
THE RAMBLINGS OF NOSTRADAMUS?
HOW LONG WILL THEY MEMORIZE YOU?
AS LONG AS YEATS
THE VERSE OF SHAKESPEARE
THE HUMOR OF CORSO,
THE JOURNALISM OF GINSBERG
THE ROMANCEOF SHELLEY OR KEATS?
YOU, WHO WHINED SO TRUE
ONE OF THE CHOSEN FEW
YOU WITH SO MUCH TO DO
HOW LONG WILL THEY REMEMBER YOU?
