High-Flyin' Rock Star

Johnny Ray was a high-flyin' rock star
His songs thrilled teenyboppers near and far
   Yet Johnny wanted more
   Not some two-bit punk whore
But a woman who could pluck his guitar

And there was I, expecting a euphemism. I hope she plucked his guitar with a nice steady rhythm, Gershon. Terry

Johnny didn't give a pluck. He just wanted... Oh, Caren! You didn't think it, did you?! Naughty, naughty! ... to make a buck. ~ Show me the Money, Honey
