WHEN THEY BRING OUT A-MA-ZING
MUSIC                            WORDS
Cole Porter     by Lloyd Alpaugh and Joe Kennedy

To be sung to the tune of "Begin the Beguine."
When they bring out A-ma-zing
We shout to the skies,the praises of Shaver;
We wish that he were a moldy ca-da-ver
When they bring out A-ma-zing.
I read it once more back of the shed,
Although I don't know what Shaver is saying;
I wonder what game Palmer is playing,
When they bring out A-ma-zing.
To read it again is my life's ambition,
Except when I lack two bits in my jeans;
And there I am wishing I had a quarter,
I know that I oughter
Buy A-ma-zing.
Ziff-Davis diving, the best mags I have seen,
In Dick Shaver's tales through the dero caverns I've wandered;
But then I hear myself curse the money I've squandered
For copies of rap's magazine.
No don't let them bring out A-ma-zing, make them stop--
Lest the money with which I must eat go for those pulp rags;
Macaroni and cheese I can eat but not Fal-mar's mags--
I'm beginning to hear strange voices that sing
When they bring out A-ma-zing.
