IN THE CAVES OF El SACRA MONTE
Ahh, I got a real lift today--
bananas at seven cents
less a pound, with coupons,
even less . Terrific, eh? And look
up there, the sun's just fine now,
and the weather's all clear. I'll be
getting home just fine alright,
thank you. Won't even need the
cane And can ya believe it,
I finally found a perfect angle
for watching tv without that
blasted arthritis raging up my
spine. Things, yeah, are going
good, you bet. Even spotted a
new bird fluttering around my old
feeder yesterday. And can ya believe it,
I can read the newspapers
again with my new glasses and
got up only three times last
night to pee. Imagine that. And
hey, you watch, my daughter's not
going to forget to send me a birthday
card this year again, not again. I feel it in my bones . Yes,
just look up tgain, come on, the sun's truly fine
out there -- and with the breezes
blowing all fair through the yard
today, sure, I'm counting my blessings.
But oh --ohh Good God! Didn't I once
dance with the Gypsies all night
long to ancient, wailing laments
ravaging my soul under la luna
llana in the caves of El Sacra Monte?
