The Lyrics
For context, see “Good?! Oh Please; It’s Ugily!”
DO-LITTLE
Mind metamorphosis has mooring—
Think wrong did I back in that time.
Daubed on paint gobbets; he prayed in pain, “Stop it!”
Then got to work upon my mind.
I used to think his work was boring…
Things wrong I yelled; I was no mime.
Sure, I was pissy and went on a diss spree—
My epithets were worse than “slime.”
He got me drawing, painting, and more.
I’ll always thank him for what’s in store!
PRIGGINS & PICTURING
We’re getting married in the morning,
It’s on ’cause it was the right time
Got the banns published,
Next: party grub list.
Did the venue search; we’re not doing church
A civil ceremony suits us fine.
PRIGGINS
A caterpillar was what I found.
PICTURING
A butterfly has now been unbound.
ALL
We’re now a chorus, voices soaring…
Sing songs in a consonant time.
D-L
Once I was failing.
P&P
Art world’s now hailing!
D-L
I am no more a jerk.
P&P
Critics love his work!
(As DO-LITTLE sings the following, MOM enters from stage left, unnoticed.)
D-L
I’ve been transformed and now make art that’s fine!
(All are taken aback as MOM strides to center stage, Ethel Merman-style, and belts out the closing line.)
MOM
And I’ll share in this refined-mind gold mine!
