Your Photo’s Beautiful Girl” (to the tune of Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls”)

Rock ’n Roll,
Rhythm ’n Blues,
Twist ’n Shout,
Come on, come on, come on …
and move that thing about
let’s Groooooooooooove, Baby,
let’s get down and Funk It,
Skiffle, Skiffle, Groove, Groove, Funk it,
Rap, Twist, Rap, Twist, Shooooooooout out loud,
and then comesPunk
Cool’n’Easy,
Middle of the Road,
Country-style,
Gospel position,
Hardrockhard, Rock-hard, Rock-hard
Rock
Pop
Jazz
Soft Rock

“and now over to Radio Three for a Symphony by Snoozebert.”

I can perform live
or I can lipsynch,
I can play lead guitar, rhythm guitar, slide guitar,
and accompany myself with dulcet tones:
“And even when she was giving head
she said tkgawockadawaidsd”
I invite girls to my room to “check out my vinyl”,
I’ve got loooong players, extended players,
a huge collection of double A-sides,
I got Soul, Ska, Skiffle, ’n Funk,
Rap, Twist, Rap, Twist,
Shooooooooout out loud,
and then comesPunk
Hardrockhard, Rock-hard, Rock-hard
Rock
Pop
Jazz
Soft Rock

“and now over to Radio Three for some Opera with Flaccido Domingo”.
