Rock Song Allusions
They thought he might be a queen
Bohemian, yes but not dumb
If he wore pink, Floyd didn't care
Claiming to be comfortably numb
He loved being high as the eagles
In a hotel, California style
When locked out, though he'd turn purple
Haze checked, he'd Jimi it in style
He once asked Lynyrd for chicken
Who said, "There's no free bird here!"
He said start me up some, I'll pay
His eyes rolling stones, with no fear!
Sometimes he'd come back in black shorts
With the AC turned all the way down
And he'd carry on, my wayward son
Still the pride of this Kansas town!
Though his boat burned a deep purple
The smoke on the water would fade
Killed by a falling Led Zeppelin
His Stairway to heaven was laid!
