No Doctors Today Thank You
They tell me that euphoria is the feeling of feeling wonderful,well, today I feel euphorian,
Today I have the agility of a Greek god and the appetitite of
Victorian.
Yes, today I may even go forth without my galoshes,
Today I am a swashbuckler, would anybody like me to buckleany swashes?
This is my euphorian day,
I will ring welkins and before anybody answers I will run away.
I will tame me a
And bedeck it with marabou.
I will pen me my memoirs.
Ah youth, youth!
What euphorian days them was!
I wasn't much of a hand for the boudoirs,
I was generally to be found where the food was.
Does anybody want any flotsam?
I've gotsam.
Does anybody want any jetsam?
I can getsam.
I can play chopsticks on the Wurlitzer,
I can speak Portuguese like a Berlitzer.
I can don or doff my shoes without tying or untying the laces becauseI am wearing moccasins,
And I practically know the difference between serums and antitoccasins.
Kind people, don't think me purse-proud, don't set me down asvainglorious,
I'm just a little euphorious.
