The Lyrics

D is for the word “dilatory,”
E’s for extended time going pee,
L’s for lassituding,
A’s for ample brooding,
Y’s for yesterday, that’s when you should have done your chores.

You’re grounded and out your tears pour.

Delay means that if you snooze you lose,
Delay of planes brings on much bad news.
Surf riders are eaten, unless the shark’s snout is beaten—
else they’ll have to pay their dues.

D’s for dallying the dilly way,
E’s for extra time not making hay,
L’s for lethargy during the day,
A for ambulatory, but no sashay,
Y’s for yolks brought home late from the store. . .

smell like sulfur where Satan roars.

Delays just might make you blow a fuse,
delays can be employed as a ruse.
Walkin’ so slow—your companions in a bad mood;
they chastise you and you brood.

Delay when tinklin’
means that you might lose your crew;
it was piqued, their disposition. They said, “Fuck it!” walked,
while you bided time in the loo;
crowd went off, leaving behind you.

Delays mean rotten produce:
tomatoes will turn to goo.
If around you fool, up the ass get a boot.
