And now, some beat poetry...

Lord Buckley's "The Nazz"


"Now look at all you cats and kittys out there
whippin' and wailin' and jumpin' up and down
an suckin' up all dat juice ...an pattin' each other on the back
an hippin' each other who the greatest cat in the world is ... eh-heh.

Mr. Malenkov,

Mr. Talenkov,

Mr. Eisenhower,

Mr. Whoozer-wheezer,

Mr. Whiser-whooser,

Mr. Woodhill, Mr. Beachhill, an' Mr. Churchill,

an all them other hills gon' get you straight,
and if they cain't getchu straight
they know a cat that knows a cat who'll straighten you.

But I'm gonna put a cat on you ...
was the coolest, grooviest, swingin'est, wailin'est,
strumminest, swingin'est cat that ever stomped on this jumpin' green sphere.

And they called dis here cat ... Da Nazz!

The Rest
