Lyrics

I used to write term papers
As all English majors do
Parsing symbols from the lyrics
Of pretentious old guy tunes

Clues from Chaucer or the Bible
Really aren't that hard to find
It's amazing all the thoughts you'll think
When you're stoned out of your mind

And since I aaaaammm quite ancient
And this tale has oft been read
All the listeners for this segment
Skew the oldest shade of dead.


Parody of Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale"
