'When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge'

-- Tuli Kupferberg, as quoted in _Reader's Digest_ (4/87)

I don't know what was more of a sign that the 60s were over... Lawrence
Welk owning the Country Joe and the Fish catalog (Welk Music Group bought
Vanguard) or one of the Fugs being quoted in _Reader's Digest_...

Hangin' out by the schoolyard gate

Fillin' the front of my shirt with drool

Nervously wiggling my toes in my boots
Communist literature in my hands
Pinchin' all the bosoms I can

Recitation (over two repeats of verse chords)

[cackle] Hello, kiddies, here I am again on the ol' schoolyard! I
got *thrill pills* for all the little chickies, and I got *funny
cigarettes* for all you boys [sniff], and I got *dirty pictures* for
all of you together! Well, I guess I better go, I see the campus
cop's coming... I better split now. Remember Leon Trotsky! [cackle]

[repeat verses 1-3]

Coda:
