Jezebel…From Israel,
\nWho never read a book,
\nCharmed the literati,
\nAnd a smile was all it took.<\/p>\n
I was laughing with Picasso,
\nWhen she first entered the room,
\nBut Gershwin, Tristan, Tzara,
\nAnd Man Ray saw her too.<\/p>\n
There was never any doubt,
\nAll would try to take her home,
\nBut she refused their every move,
\nPreferred to be alone.<\/p>\n
And a rose…A rose is a rose.<\/p>\n
Zelda had a breakdown,
\nFitzgerald hit the bar.
\nHis hand was broken, words were spoken,
\nDidn’t get too far.<\/p>\n
Hemmingway was smoother,
\nMore debonaire and fun,
\nBut he would say her repartee,
\nWas meaner than a gun.<\/p>\n
And a rose…<\/p>\n
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose…
\nSaid my good friend Gertrude Stein.
\nShe knows that I go to the ol’ Deux Magots,
\nAnd I drink Pernod through the night.<\/p>\n
Jezebel…From Israel,
\nWho never read a book,
\nShe charmed the literati
\nAnd a smile was all it took.<\/p>\n
Before her Joyce will babble,
\nAnd Pound has gone insane,
\nEliot is paralyzed by,
\nThoughts of April rain.<\/p>\n
When she refused Lenin,
\nHe vowed to start a war.
\nStravinsky beat The Rite of Spring,
\nRight there on the floor.<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
And then one night she’s missing,
\nA riot soon began.
\nNo one could stand the thought of Jezzie with another man.<\/p>\n
I raced down winding streets,
\nI broke into her house.
\nYou never guess who Jezebel,
\nWas kissing on the couch.<\/p>\n
A rose…A rose is a rose…<\/p>\n
Hi Jezzie. Hi there, Gertrude.
\nAm I interrupting something?<\/p>\n
