Broadway Melody of 1974 - Live from the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA, 24/1/1975
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades
With our mythical Madonna's
Still walking in their shades
Lenny Bruce declares a truce
And plays his other hand
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewing
Head buried in the sand
Sirens on the rooftops wailing
But there's no ship sailing
Groucho with his movies trailing
Stands alone with his punchline failing
Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food
And the band plays "In the Mood"
A cheerleader waves her cyanide wand
There's a smell of peach blossom
And bitter almond
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air
And leads the parade
He knows, in a scent
You can bottle all you made
There's Howard Hughes
In blue suede shoes
Smiling at the majorettes
Smoking Winston Cigarettes
And as the song and dance begins
The children play at home
With needles, needles, and pins
With our mythical Madonna's
Still walking in their shades
Lenny Bruce declares a truce
And plays his other hand
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewing
Head buried in the sand
Sirens on the rooftops wailing
But there's no ship sailing
Groucho with his movies trailing
Stands alone with his punchline failing
Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food
And the band plays "In the Mood"
A cheerleader waves her cyanide wand
There's a smell of peach blossom
And bitter almond
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air
And leads the parade
He knows, in a scent
You can bottle all you made
There's Howard Hughes
In blue suede shoes
Smiling at the majorettes
Smoking Winston Cigarettes
And as the song and dance begins
The children play at home
With needles, needles, and pins
