the legendary 
yes ladies &
gentlemen
the legendary
John Birks Gillespie
tells how he’s
related to Rameses the Groovy
who ran this groovy place
called Cush

on the Nile
in about twelve hundred B.C.

and shit
it was some sort
of civilization
oh my

yes so he’s composed
“Cush”
to know where his ancestor’s head was
at, no

and so dizzy it is
to start watching those
pouches on either side his eyes
as he blows those
choruses in “Cush”

say, man,
are those
monkey nuts,
or chocolate
tomatoes?

they are
somethin’ else!

they belong on
Mr. Peanut

as he struts
in Paradise…
