|
| (The life and the opinions of Mr Brent Busboom)
|
| When you grow up in a hick town
|
| Never let it get you down
|
| Build up all your irony
|
| And bang on a big bass drum
|
| Born in Champaign Illinois
|
| Busboom, a precocious boy
|
| Compiled a redneck dictionary
|
| Entitled it The Hictionary
|
| (He compiled a redneck dictionary, entitled it The Hictionary)
|
| At high school Brent took on John Flynn
|
| Headmaster and puritan
|
| Who declared 'disruptive to the school'
|
| An oil in the painting show
|
| Of Nancy Reagan on a rug
|
| Upon her head a crown of drugs
|
| Busboom contrived to blackmail Flynn
|
| And the painting went back in
|
| (The painting went back in the show but John Flynn had to go)
|
| At Reno University
|
| Brent showed his true perversity
|
| With a paper on commercials
|
| By the ad man Bill Bernbach
|
| Busboom’s essay made the claim
|
| That Bernbach’s cereal campaign
|
| Had drawn its inspiration from Milton’s Paradise Lost!
|
| (Life Cereal: as crunchy as Milton’s Paradise Lost!)
|
| If you want to know a bit about prejudice
|
| Just ask an old Creationist
|
| Like William Jennings Bryan
|
| Who got Darwin banned in schools
|
| Brent Busboom, his descendant
|
| Took paintbrush and amended
|
| The Nevada state motto to
|
| 'A great place to get screwed'
|
| (So welcome to Nevada, a great place to get screwed!
|
| And never let a monkey make a monkey out of you)
|
| Well he went to work in a burger bar
|
| But he lasted only five hours there
|
| They caught him spreading pamphlets
|
| Saying the meat was human flesh
|
| 'Our butchers will recycle you
|
| To make the best of death
|
| Why not donate your body for a burger made of flesh!'
|
| (A burger made entirely of recycled human flesh) |
