Once upon a time in the lower east side
Long before the first world war
A girl climbs up on a tiny stage
To show a few moves of her own repertoire
She carries a birdcage instead of a hat
And her bra was made out of tuna cans
Her wild eclectic dancing style
Drove all the bohemians wild
Elsa you dance like nobody Elsa -It is true what everyone tells ya
You are the dada princess
Art is life and life is art
but sometimes its not all that smart
See Elsa’s friend - the mighty Duchamp
He was the king of the demimonde
He stole the idea with the urinal
To hang it in the middle of the gallery wall
He ws the artist - she was the muse
He got the fame and she got the blues

I don't worry -Whenever skies are gray above
Got a pocketful of rainbows/ Got a heart full of love
Mister Heartache / I've found a way to make him leave
Got a pocketful of rainbows /Got a star up in my sleeve
Kiss me extra tender/ Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness/ For a lonely night, aye
No more teardrops/Now that I've found a love so true
I got a pocketful of rainbows / Got an armful of you
ELIVIS Presley - he had a cocktail full of pills
Hanging up in the basement - still waiting for those thrills
Elvis Presley - can’t get his mood under control
He’s shooting at the TV - he needs some rest for his soul

Emily dickinson
Emily - whats on your mind
Emily why do you hide
All dressed in white- And your skin so.pale
Writing on your poems almost every day
Emily - she never greets
stays in her bed for weeks
Never happy - always sad
Writing all those letters - she never sends

Everybody wants to be
A guest in her salon de the
Artist writer bohemians
Stood in line to be a part
Of her weekly social meetings
In her rue de fleur apartement
She was the sibyl de montparnass
And she like to kick peoples ass
Gertrude stein – always ahead of her time – but only in her mind
Her writing it was crazy
But her agent he was lazy
And so it took her quite a while
Till her reputation gained in style
Her appearnce it was big
But Her confidence was bigger
She saw herself in just one line
With picasso, and albert einstein

KEITH MOON
Run away, run away, run away You gotta see some action soon
Stay away stay away stay away Enjoy the magic of Keith moon
Keith moon - Keith. Moon You gotta destroy this room
Keith moon, Keith moon enjoy the magic of Keith moon
the paintings, the drawers. Throw all furniture goes out of the window
The carpet, the curtain, smash the Tv into pieces

William Macgonagall
He was a writer of fantastic stories
And he wrote the best he could
But the people didn’t like his lyrics
And everybody thought he’s crap
They threw him off with moldy apples
but he wouldn’t mind a bit
Thy couldn’t stop him doing all his readings
He just wanted to be loved

ITTEN
When itten was down - He wanted no-one around
He put his paintings down- All Colors changed to brown
When itten was down - He felt just upside down
Wished himself out of town- All colors changed to brown
When itten was down- He couldn’t meet anyone
He stayed out of the sun -. All colors changed to brown

Now let my tell you bout a spendthrift who was famous long ago
for his great hunger for adventure was notorious
He was born with a fortune, but he never learnt to cope
So he’s loosing all his money everywhere he goes
He was riding like a devil, he was faster than a train
rode up the balcony and through a restaurant
He never took detour ha always wanted straight
There was hardly any bet that he wouldn’t take

Johnny Appleseed
Johnny - Walking through the country With the pockets full of seeds
Johnny - Having no direction And no shoes on his feet
Johnny - Sleeping in corners, living in the streets
Johnny - Is happy for no reason Has everything he needs
A trace of appletrees is following his steps
they are growing everywhere he gets ( He never looks back) ,
A handful here and a handful there , trees are growing everywhere

JOSHUA NORTON
He lived in San Fransisco - next to the golden gate
You could see him strolling down the city promenade
Dressed in a fantasy uniform with medals , things and plates
He was ready to decrease his very own parade
Here comes the emperor, make way for the emperor
Long time ago he was a wealthy guy and worked as businessman
Rumour is he lost it all, he didn’t have a lucky hand
You could see he was all fake but people thought he’s great
For them he was the emperor of the United States

SARAH WINCHESTER
Windows and doors, stairways and floors
Never get bored, she always wanted more
She felt cursed, can’t get worse
Winchester rifles blew out some lives
Aint no ghost , gonna get her
Slowly round the corner creeps the family daughter
She shouldn’t but she ought to, her shadows fading in the patterns

SIMEON ELLERTON –
Walks around with a stone
Has it sitting on his head
Theres no doubt - he feels great
Simeon ellerton -Wants a cottage of his own
Walks around collecting stones
He can feel it in his bones
Then he had build himself a house
Just from everything he found
Simeon ellerton
Making errands for his friends
Rain or shine you see him there
And he lived for hundred years

She got her infos from this millionaires
Who set in daze at the brothel chairs
Investment secrets for the market fair
Allin menswear and with short hair
She made a fortune at the stock exchange
But being rich it felt a bit strange
She knew society should rearrange
Equality and humanity
VICTORIA , VICTORIA
The countries sick and that was evident
Scam and injustice in the government
And so she tried tor un for president
All in menswear and with short hair
