The Lyrics
My left lapel's askew--
It's out of line.
A shoulder shift is what I'll do. . .
Get it righted--
Get the left righted.
You know, I'm right-handed;
With that one I'll pound
On out-of-whack padding
Until the unslacked farbric's brought down
And the lapel's not skewed
And back in line. . .
Look fine.
It's askew;
I look louche,
Like a douche.
What I'll do--grab it now,
Pull it from where
I just should not be.
Oops! Now my trou
Have cleared me.
I was sans belt, so you
See my behind.
It's out of line.
A shoulder shift is what I'll do. . .
Get it righted--
Get the left righted.
You know, I'm right-handed;
With that one I'll pound
On out-of-whack padding
Until the unslacked farbric's brought down
And the lapel's not skewed
And back in line. . .
Look fine.
It's askew;
I look louche,
Like a douche.
What I'll do--grab it now,
Pull it from where
I just should not be.
Oops! Now my trou
Have cleared me.
I was sans belt, so you
See my behind.

Clothes, but no cigar. I hope! I'm worried your next "Spell" might be about Spiro Agnew.
your left lapel is fine....the rest of you is askew....delightfully so, though
Barry Van Delinder, you've always been 'askew" it what makes you, you! I'll put 'a skew on you' . . .
