Echoes of the Broadway Everglades With her mythical Madonna still walking in her shades Lenny Bruce declares a truce and plays his other hand Marshal McLuhen casual viewing 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.
Ku Klux Klan serves hot soul food And the band plays 'In the Mood' The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade He knows, in a scent, you can bottle all you made There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes Smiling at the majorette Smoking Winston cigarettes
And as the song and dance begin The children play at home With needles, needles and pins.
