The Springsteen Fan With False Machismo
Tune: Arthur Sullivan's "My Object All Sublime," from "The Mikado"
The Springsteen fan with false machismo
Who dresses like the Boss
Is locked up in Zabar's
With patrons of gay bars
And users of dental floss.
The whiz at computers, who buys a gizmo
(By teatime, it's obsolete),
Must hack in an attic
Surrounded by static,
Humidity, dust and heat.
The preacher with detachable collars
Who tastes Forbidden Fruit
Is made to dwell
In a cheap motel
With a common prostitute;
And there he pays her oodles of dollars
To do his tax return,
And report the bread
That he steals, instead
Of the pittance he claims to earn.
