The Lyrics
The final track from "The Inaccurate Confection", kind of summing up everything this bizarre collection of "pop" songs has covered and trying to form some sort of resolution to the whole mess.
We're walking, we' re walking
And I see a flower above
It's stinking, it's stinking
I see that you cannot excuse me
For you are not a little girl, for you I've got a plan
When all the scars inside of you are brown, then we'll understand
I see that you're precocious, and that I am just a geek
Your clothes I see are frilly, I'm contentious through the week
I'm way out of range for you
Don't really care what you do
I think when there is a cure, you cry
You blubber, stand, and don't ask why
And as I refer to history
I think of the Sisters Three
Faith, Hope, and Charity
But then it bugs me
(Chorus)
Excuse me, excuse me, I need a reprieve
You're treating me like a dope
Excuse me, excuse me, I need a reprieve
I'm washing my brains out with soap
The corned beef hash is my pride and joy
You can be effeminate, or search and destroy
You see I am a monkey given to grandstanding
And you are a dragon with flames so outstanding
We love to feel the breeze, we love to eat French fries
We both want to rule the world, or at least the economy size
And when I'm feeling bare
A picture of you is there
I understand that there should be
A flower above me
(chorus)
Monkeys are grandstanding
The dragons' flames are so outstanding
I'm bending down—what a mess
Take me away—I am your best
(chorus)
ooh ahh, monkeys are grandstanding
ooh aahh, dragons are outstanding
Monkeys grandstanding
The dragon's flames are so outstanding
I'm bending down—now what a mess
Excuse me, excuse me
It's been all been a lie, she cried
How stupid could I be?
How despicable you are!
And the world told me you were a grandstanding monkey
--And the dragon's flames flow free (Hee Hee)
If you can relieve the flower
Then I think you can excuse me
I relieved, I relieved the poor flower
And then I think you can excuse me
I'm thinking of reprieve
A reprieve? Can you excuse me?
I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking
A reprieve. Can you excuse me?
We're walking, we're walking
Do you see the flower above? (2x))
I'm thinking—I'm thinking of reprieve
A reprieve? Can you excuse me?
Hey hey hey hey
E-X-C-U-S-E me
Won't you please excuse me?
A reprieve—you can excuse me
I believe in the flower
A reprieve---you can excuse me
And I see a flower above
It's stinking, it's stinking
I see that you cannot excuse me
For you are not a little girl, for you I've got a plan
When all the scars inside of you are brown, then we'll understand
I see that you're precocious, and that I am just a geek
Your clothes I see are frilly, I'm contentious through the week
I'm way out of range for you
Don't really care what you do
I think when there is a cure, you cry
You blubber, stand, and don't ask why
And as I refer to history
I think of the Sisters Three
Faith, Hope, and Charity
But then it bugs me
(Chorus)
Excuse me, excuse me, I need a reprieve
You're treating me like a dope
Excuse me, excuse me, I need a reprieve
I'm washing my brains out with soap
The corned beef hash is my pride and joy
You can be effeminate, or search and destroy
You see I am a monkey given to grandstanding
And you are a dragon with flames so outstanding
We love to feel the breeze, we love to eat French fries
We both want to rule the world, or at least the economy size
And when I'm feeling bare
A picture of you is there
I understand that there should be

(chorus)
Monkeys are grandstanding
The dragons' flames are so outstanding
I'm bending down—what a mess
Take me away—I am your best
(chorus)
ooh ahh, monkeys are grandstanding
ooh aahh, dragons are outstanding
Monkeys grandstanding
The dragon's flames are so outstanding
I'm bending down—now what a mess
Excuse me, excuse me
It's been all been a lie, she cried
How stupid could I be?
How despicable you are!
And the world told me you were a grandstanding monkey
--And the dragon's flames flow free (Hee Hee)

I'm thinking—I'm thinking of reprieve
A reprieve? Can you excuse me?
Hey hey hey hey
E-X-C-U-S-E me
Won't you please excuse me?
A reprieve—you can excuse me
I believe in the flower
A reprieve---you can excuse me
Copyright 2001, Agrimorfee. Thanks for reading/commenting/voting/tolerating this work; I did have fun trying to mutate these historically important songs into something unusual and thought-provoking. Hopefully this brought something positive to the world, and I also hope I don't get pilloried by Madonna's fans from the whole world over. Get it straight now--I LOVE Madonna! We ALL LOVE Madonna. God Bless Madonna! Peace out. :)

(ABC3) Words fail? : D like it. 5's
I didn't get it Agri but, I thought it was well-written (as yours usually are). 555
You're excused
(ABCE3) I see you've parodied an entire Madonna album, Agrimorfee (voted that too); quite an accomplishment, since it's Greatest Tits, err, Hits. I don't know this OS, but an interesting read none the less. 5s.
I didn't get it either, but I'm all for poking fun at Maprimadonna. -- MM
You know what, I gotta admit, right now I feel like James Joyce, reading all these comments above, seeing the general consensus of "wow, I didn't understand what the hell it was, but it was good!" I didn't intend any meaning out of it, but you could think that maybe it has something to do with a tumultuous relationship and attempts to make it better. Or something. At least, that's what I got out of it. :)
(ABC) Brilliant goofiness!
(ABC3E) congrats on finishing the whole album, Aggy, and it was kind of cool reading this to the gyrating woman on the left of my screen (thanks to Youtube), and although, like Rick, I didn't get it, it paced nicely to the OS - 555
liking this one Agri 5s
More serious than your usual material. Well done.
(ABC3E) Sorry Agri, this was just a little too surreal for me. Great use of rhyme schemes though. 544
Nailed the surrealism of the contest without a doubt. Very Beatles-esque...
(Dec 2.0) You sure nailed the 'surreal' part to a tee, but seeing as this is apparently the final part of a whole album, and I missed it, I kinda have no idea what to make of it.
555, but it poses a rather shaky ride, Sir! Hopefull it is still ongoing & unfolding.
Great job,5s
(Dec 2.8) I love this as a piece of writing, Agri....but I imagine it works better as a part of the whole. Still, very enjoyable.
Decathlon...well, when they said "surreal" you took it pretty seriously, huh? Nice work on this, Agri...I love the OS, too...
(dec2.8) well, we should call this the adagio round - surreal alright Ag, and for some reason I laughed at "You see I am a monkey given to grandstanding" - I don't know why because it's too surreal - 555
(SOTM) I guess I got lost a bit buddy, It paces well, and all, but not my favorite by you.
Fun song...a little nasty, but very interesting to read
