The Lyrics

http://www.webexhibits.org/poetry/explore_classic_villanelle_examples.html
Flaking out, fooling around, poetry smirchin’
Tryin’ to work with tercets—that is, three lines
I’m makin’ light, from repeat to repeat lurchin’

For more rhymes of “smirching” I’m desp’rately searchin’
It seems that such schemes are very hard to find
Flaking out, fooling around, poetry smirchin’

Could resort to contractions-doubles like “church ’n’ ”
But before long that will put me in a bind
I’m makin’ light, from repeat to repeat lurchin’

So I am starting to feel like a word urchin
As search for more “urchin” rhymes out to grind
Flaking out, fooling around, poetry smirchin’

But I am not gonna resort to self-birchin’
Because I am not the self-shellacking kind
I’m makin’ light, from repeat to repeat lurchin’

On my chair I’ll be no longer perchin’
I think I have all possibilities mined
Flaking out, fooling around, poetry smirchin’
I’m makin’ light, from repeat to repeat lurchin’
