The Barbershop Quartet

THE BARBERSHOP QUARTET The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand. A Capella joviality, with torquing wrists, snapping fingers. Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand. Dapper in their pinstripe suits, hats — Delmonico brand. Sweet Adeline, drawn out. My Adeline — peaks, lingers. The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand. Choreography matchless with their sugar-cane wands. One by one they tap and score with lighthearted zingers. Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand. Bass, lead, baritone and tenor glitz altogether stand, Impressing the country stage — these polished singers. The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand. Differences overlooked, blend of ringing chords command. Friendship in angelic voice, grooming of youthful wingers.* Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand. Brothers in harmony, gathering precious social sand. Through time, the dusty chair spins and memories linger. The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand — Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand. 4/25/2018 *wingers - I am using to describe the new set of kids who practice “wing it” Sweet Adeline written by Richard Gerard
