Someone's Blues

from Booty and the Bling by Maharani

/

lyrics

This is someone's blues and I hope it's not MINE
Because I'm built near WATER
I'm trying to figure out whose thoughts I'm THINKING. Whose ship is SINKING? I need to help them but I can't SWIM
Whom should I call for HELP?
Meanwhile the victims are biting the KELP or at least those of them who were even able
To leave the SHIP, survival chances were SLIM from the start on this fatal TRIP
Guess we're all doomed, nowhere to go, not unlike this verse, only half a QUARTER
To go. On the other end I can see the sun SHIIINE

Here we go, the backing track doesn't sound like sunshine anyMORE,
Finding rhymes is such a CHORE, wonder whether anyone noticed
The ABCDDCBA rhmye scheme that the previous verse emPLOYED
The good Dr. FREUD would've enJOYED my breaking the fourth wall
Yes, that's right, his name is not FRUIT, guess to whom I'm about to alLUDE?
You called it, the good Dr. SEUSS. As you can tell from my VOICE
His name does not rhyme with JUICE, do English-SPEAKING people think only of eat-and-DRINKING?,
It's on the NEWS, like the ship SINKING... the one that I mentioned before

Tell you about the days when I fought a lion with my bare hands,
She was a bit importunate, only wanted to cuddle
But I was on my way to the night club, didn't want to miss the polonaise,
Which I told her, she was unforGIVING, said "how'm I supposed to make a LIVIN'"
We aGREED to MEET later and for ME not to CHEAT, looked down to my FEET,
Knew I'd never HATE HER, but though I was in love I knew I shouldn't DATE HER
She looked soft and fluffy but I was just a human, she a lioness.
As FATE would have it, I got very high and lost at the CLUB, hoped she didn't get SHOT.
