broadway melody of 1974

echoes of the broadway everglades

with her mythical madonnas

still walking in their shades

lenny bruce

declares a truce

and plays his other hand

marshall mcluhan

casual viewin'

head buried in the sand

sirens on the rooftops wailing

but there's no ship sailing

groucho

with his movies trailing

stands alone with his punchline failing

klu klux klan serve hot soul food

and the band plays in the mood"
