    An old man from Oklahoma,
    Coined verses while in a deep coma,
    But awake from his dream,
    He had no memory gleam,
    The verses had left his old dome-a.
    
    Aye yi yi yi,
    In China they don't eat much chili,
    So let's have another verse,
    That's worse than the other verse,
    Then waltz me around again Nelly.
    
    He then climbed a mountain that he knew,
    In search of a wise man or guru,
    He said, "pay your bills",
    Or come live in these hills,
    And stay in a cave like me boo hoo.
    
    Aye yi  yi yi,
    In Juarez the tacos are zesty,
    So let's have another verse,
    That's worse than the other verse,
    And ladies please don't get too testy.
    
    He then met a gal from West Texas,
    Who had a real cute solar plexis,
    He suddenly learned,
    That his rimes had returned,
    But they were all rated with exes.
    
    Aye yi  yi yi,
    The memories this brings are delightful,
    So let's have another verse,
    That's worse than the other verse,
    And see that we never get hateful.
    
    He married that gal east of Dumas,
    They had 15 kids that's the rumas,
    Each night they would add,
    A new verse that would pad,
    To their copy of the Karma Sutra.
    
    Aye yi  yi yi,
    This honors some old vets I served with,
    They'll ne'er sing another verse,
    Or utter a nasty curse,
    But sang long and loud as we shared a fifth.
