The Lyrics

Moniker: nickname. Sobriquet: nickname. Battle of Hastings: 1066, the Norman French conquered England and stayed for several centuries, greatly influencing the development of English. Bourbon: French dynasty that came long after the Normans. Bouillabaisse: stew (sort of a potpourri). Redactions: edits. Homunculus: dwarf. Succubus: a demon in female form that gets in on with men during sleep. Incubus: vice versa. Neologistical: a neologism is a made-up word [Johnny D is a master of coining them in his parodies]. Kvell: to beam with pride [Yiddish]. Shmuckaluft: Pseudo-Yiddish neologism meaning "elevated shmuck." Jackie/Ari: Jackie Kennedy was married for many years to Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Tempus fugit: time flies. Cuneiform: ancient, wedge-shaped alphabets. Orthography: spelling. Cavilin': complainin'. Curia'd: the Curia Romana is the papal court. Quirt: handle on a whip.
I have modeled a moniker to name a made-up genital.
It's information venereal and, rightly, ephemeral.
Sobriquet's semi-English, language smote by fights historical,
Such as the battle of Hastings. . .made it more metaphorical.

Taint by pre-Bourbon phase of French. . .a bouillabaisse that's lexical,
Though French is très bien for discussions of matters sexual.
But I digress, it's time to get onto my geste; I've wrought some views
About redactions to the lexicon that harbors tw*t 'n' c**ze.

About redactions to the lexicon that harbors tw*t 'n' c**ze. (3x)

Now, certain words connote by their mere sound suggestive things for us,
Three of such are "homunculus" and "succubus" and "incubus."
My sport: to make slang venereal that's neologistical,
And to model a moniker that names a made-up genital.

My sport: to make slang venereal that's neologistical,
And to model a moniker that names a made-up genital.

I might jest testicularly and call the balls a "pairorocks."
(When I froze my ass in Alaska, they basked in a pair o' socks.)
If I kvelled in Hebraics, I might blurt a term like "shmuckaluft"--
Comment on homo erectus who stuck a poof--for "up to roof."

I shy from Greek; it reminds me of Jackie's hairy muffery,
When she succumbed and then got plumbed by wacky Ari's stuffery.
In Latin, "tempus fugit" tells how quickly time exits the door.
I could misspell "fugit" and I'd have a "minute man" metaphor.

I could misspell "fugit" and I'd have a "minute man" metaphor. (3x)

Think how I'd babble on if I slightly misspelled "cuneiform."
If orificial orthography caught on, it could be the norm.
My sport: to make slang venereal, with a new "O" lexical,
And to model a moniker that names a pseudogenital.

My sport: to make slang venereal, with a new "O" lexical,
And to model a moniker that names a pseudogenital.

Just think what I could do transforming two letters in "gunnery."
At the outset, I said French; that blend sounds too much like Dutch fer me--
Appearing like a place where women go when they are slatternly.
Besides, I do not like Dutch food; I've found that it will fatten me.

(This verse in the OS was curious and spurred some fun fer me.
I did not curse, implied obverse of Curia'd word "nunnery,"
Residence hall penitential. This worse verse concerns genitals. . .
Spurious term elliptical, also obscure and cryptical.)

I'll bet you've guessed that my lex quest digresses; it's unravelin',
And I confess that I'd say "yes!" if you commenced to cavilin'.
This all began when I slaved for a man who was quite scary, fat;
His name was Flynt; I once quipped about his "limp little larryat."

All my linguistical knowledge squandered on a word for men 'r girl;
The term's hermaphroditic; now I'll spit it out--it's "genvermeil."
If you want to waste time, check "vermeil" in a volume lexical;
You'll find it that applies to mons 'r quirt as hued, hewn sexical,

If conical or spherical or even longitudinal.
It's connotational--unmentionables strongly pudendal,
Nonsensical spectacle--quirky quest for made-up lexical.
Not lyrical, not comical, this song is killed--a miracle!

"Quintilius in triplicato." Reminds me of a "Friends" bit. Joey: "Ross, I got a science question. If the Homo Sapiens really were HOMO Sapiens, is that why they're extinct?" Ross: "Joey, Homo Sapiens are people." Joey: "Hey, I'm not judging!" (Of course, "homo sapiens" is Greek, not Latin, but whaddayagonnado?)

For lovers talk, embarrasing, I've coined the term Georgelucasy
That part alone, in eppy two, deserves and ending, brutally

There, now, JB, don't you feel a whole lot better after getting THAT out of your head and onto Amiright? I can sympathize! Great job.
