The Lyrics

From "East Reich Story," my unfinished parody of "West Side Story."
Maria

The most beautiful sound I ever heard—
She has renounced seconds, also dessert.

Maria,
I once met a girl with bulimia.
Austrian girls eat game;
She thinks a full plate's a shame
To see.

Maria,
I would kiss a girl named Maria.
But there's a gurgling sound--
Next anorexic round
To free.

Maria,
Spray lunch loud and there's music playing;
Spray it soft and it's almost like praying.

Maria,
She'll never stop spraying,
Maria
Maria, Maria...

Maria,
Spray it loud and there's music playing;
Spray it soft and it's almost like praying.
Maria,
She'll never stop spraying.

Maria,
The most beautiful sound I ever heard--
Marf....

This is the second day in a row that you have ruined my breakfast, John. Don't let the 5's I gave you fool you, because we are officially in a fight now!

Thanks either way, JD. Ash, I could REALLY spoil your break by playing the sax for you.

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE songs from West Side Story (probably because I can actually sing it). I think you did a wonderful job on the parody. Imagine if Tony had come across a girl this THIS! 555! :)
