lyrics

Punctuating Shatner
Words & Music © 2017 by Dave Caruso

Egg shells & coffee grounds / Sizzling & percolating sounds / Quintessential
Orange peels & toasted crumbs / Breakfast hurtles swiftly out of bounds
Right on schedule
Skillets, cups and dirty plates / Gathered up and ready to be scraped
Monumental
Harmony flits, flirts & flutters / Conversation b-b-backfires & sp-sp-sputters
Consequential

Cut the crap and quit the clowning
This might be fun if we weren't busy drowning

Why can't we speak the words like an ordinary actor?
We're diagramming Goldblum and punctuating Shatner

Hammering & clamoring / We babble on until we're blabbering / Masochistic
Yammering & stammering & mumbo jumbo jibber-jabbering / Cataclysmic

What's with all this useless tripe?
We were never good at playing against type

So disregard the fallout and disconnect the timer
We're factoring for Einstein & dismantling Oppenheimer

What are we going on about? (Awkward drama)
We can't resist it
There went another lovely moment (Oxford comma)
Too bad we missed it

Cut the carbs & quit the caffeine
Small wonder we're the only ones not laughing
Forget our codependent & stubborn complicity
We're paraphrasing Passion & parsing Serendipity

Oh, never mind the backchat and brush aside the banter
We're diagramming Goldblum and punctuating Shatner
Punctuating Shatner . Punctuating Shatner
