This Three-Fifth Stooges moron quartet
are brain-slow slugs you don’t wanna IQ know

Just sitting on a milk crate,
waiting outside of the MGM studio gate

To commiserate, communicate and about the misty past to reminisce.
"What in hell (er, excuse me, Lord!) is happening, Abe, to our beloved nation?"
"Well, George,...

  Is a rose still a rose by any other
And isn't 'Mom' a lot more loving
  Than calling her 'Mother' 

A name is an occupation, a means to...

Between Blue Ridge Mountains and Chesapeake Bay
Almost eight and a half million people here do sashay,
One of the original colonies, back in the settlers’ day,
Part of the American Revolution, Virginia was, in a big way.

Your banks cradle history, where legends are drawn.
From the heart of the nation, our dreams have been sown,
So roll on, Potomac, roll on.

Kilmarnock is two places split by Atlantic
one in Virginia other in Ayrshire
they are of different character straits
all bringing their own dimensions higher

The Virginia  brand settled way back in early 1600s
originally known as ‘the Crossroads’...

We may think so, but He never did
Quite apart from Mephibosheth, lame prince, son of Jonathan,
In hiding when Saul died (the nurse hid baby Mephibosheth from King David)

In crowds bigly
And comparatively small 
The Barker 
Shot poisoned grammar arrows 
At apple pie heads 
Crowds roared with baked smiles
At milestones tossed 
Across potomac alters
The Barker 
Injected his virus
With mucus spray; tanned 
With ease, aimed...

Towers stabbing tall into the sky,
Broadway plays that catch the eye,
finance’s center, here it lies…
Manhattan is a city that works
(but it’s filled with loud, self-important jerks).

Sun-bathed coat and silver screens,
glitz and glamour and action scenes,

Such an excited class...

You know who we are. 

We're with you everyday, 
We're from the ghettos, the project buildings 
the neighborhoods with low incomes

You know who we are

We're considered in society as the minority,

On the banks of the Potomac
Where the cherry blossoms grow

Are decided in its halls
The names of those who died for...

Last night I dreamed, but not of Manderlay.

It was instead of the Oak Ridge Cemetery, in Springfield,
where death somehow evokes life. 

The moon bathed everything with silver. 
It was easy to...

The creek meanders down from Pennsilvani-ay
Caresses Sharpsburg as it goes.
To give its water to Potomac as it flows.
And so, the river knows 
What happens on the land above each day.

But something terrible is happening this...
