Broken English words crack the air like a bear
She had a chateau in Virginia waters
Free from all those culture vultures
Her car's silver cloud cloaked the air in a shroud
Her pearly author's teeth tore the season's cedar
Cut a peasant
Her one rich wish is to write a book about
A Venetian mother's problems on a barge in Little Venice
She peers at the portrait of a poetess grandmama
Who's theatrical in character, wise just like Socrates
Doo, doo-dah, doo-dah
Ch-cha, ch-cha, ch-cha, ch-cha
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
She grips her nails into the aged canvas
But devoured from the words, her head
Was cool and shrill and frightening
Miss Draghi's in Jamaica reading about a blue chaise lounge
She types some acid words to her hell is her Van Morte love
Her one rich wish is to write a book about
A chateau in Virginia waters
Free from all those culture vultures
Doo, doo-dah, doo-dah
Ch-cha, ch-cha, ch-cha, ch-cha
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Doo, doo-dah, doo-dah
Ch-cha, ch-cha, ch-cha, ch-cha
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
