Notes
(Torme's "Christmas Song")
 
Archaeological Note: This lyric was written in 1997, after a couple of years in which the news teemed with lunatics: Colin Ferguson and his rampage on the Long Island Rail Road, Mike Tyson and the bite he put on Evander Holyfield's ear, and Marv Albert and his peculiar bedroom habits (stanza one); Susan Smith and the drowning of her children (stanza two); and the antics of a couple of cults (release).  A trip down memory lane may be taken here.

Some nuts take a gun and open fire;

Some nuts nip you on the ear;

Some nuts back-bite, dressed in women's attire,

With black lace panties and brassiere.

 

Sad to say, it's clear:

Some turkeys lacking mother-love

Slay their children out of spite

Tiny tots, if they're given a shove,

Could wind up in the deep tonight.

 

Just look around; you're sure to find

The woods are full of kooks of ev'ry shape and kind.

From Heaven's Gate, L.A., to Waco, Tex.,

You have to wonder if they play with full decks.

 

But one group's flakier than all the rest;

They're off the cotton-pickin' wall.

Although it's been said many times, half in jest,

Hare Krishnas beat all.
