Joop Goes Hollywood

Joop Goes Hollywood Joop goes Hollywood on the boulevard today Gold cape and cane in hand, sunglasses made of diamonds We don’t know why, since it has no face or eyes Signing autographs for all the fans In a stream of consciousness that lasts Like a warm stream of urine nice and clean On the street with all the celebrity it can be Joop comes from another place and time From outer space, and though it has no talent We are charmed and reach to touch its hands It has so many, we don't understand which ones to shake Trying to figure out; is it animal, mineral, or thing Perhaps vegetation that is bringing peace on a laser beam It does not matter; we are on vacation, with nothing else to do Joop goes Hollywood today We are Americans and don’t discriminate So what if it’s not from the human race It is our kind of being or thing on the street Joop is our celebrity, very cool, very keen Gold cape and cane in hand strolling along the boulevard We string along with it and applaud, the new foreign king of a thing
