lyrics

He's a Sagittarius moon and so precarious
He loves to lead the ladies on but they all don't know where he is
His style is quite spectacular
He use the black vernacular
He never kiss a girl upon the cheek 'till he's attracted to her

Yes he's a real Lothario
Floats like Super Mario
Works on 42nd Street but lives out in the barrio
Loves to eat a petit four
Leaves the birds to Baltimore
Parties at the grocery store

We know foam follows function
So we learn to move with the utmost unction
The fault is not in our guitars but in ourselves
He's smooth as turpentine
He only likes the Firesign

He's a Sagittarius
Familiar with the various strategies for chatter but he only digs the scariest
A hundred years of solipsists
Got him chomping at the bit
He's the soul of brevity, if not exactly wit

We know foam follows function
So we learn to move with the utmost unction
The fault is not in our guitars but in ourselves
He's sweet as turpentine
So come, vamos a Bergenline

So before you go get plastered
Won't you spend some time with this conceited bastard?
Who sits around writing love songs to himself
He's smooth as Percodan
He always says "I think I can"
His Saturn is in Taurus
Which explains why he might bore us with his Libran didacticity
But check the electricity when jovial and saturnine combine in trines
To line up the Martial arts of the mind!
