Gonna play lines of iambic pentameter
Excavate a mine for the Lotus Eaters
Ginsberg, Snyder, Cassidy and Karouak
Get with the beat and the negative feedback
Gather up text from Hardy and Shakespeare
Put 'em back together like a wordy engineer
Let the rhyme drop with a stop in the cadence
Load up the phrase so the words make a payment
Gonna play lines with the Groovy Beat-Poets
Stick with the kick and you know you won't blow it
Nothing to lose from the use of metaphor
But you have to be sure it hasn't been used before
One line left for Hep-Cat Bill Burroughs
A man with a plan who ploughed his own furrows
Gonna play lines with the Groovy Beat-Poets
Stick with the kick and you know you won't blow it
