You are a genius
You've got the golden clutch
The crowds come double dutch
To see your genius
You are a genius
You're far beyond your rightful zen
Is it your dendrites or your gin
that feeds this genius?
I've got such respect
For the laurels on which you rest
I'm so impressed with you
Geniuses are never wrong
They've got perfect opinions
'Specially when they're strong

Little troubles
Peeling paint and smokey stains
Little puddles
On the floor each time it rains
Stephanie's past 82 and she's lived here for a spell
Tells me I'm a nice young man and complains about the smell
The pink apartment house where I belong
Got a kitchen
Well equipped for ham on rye
And the floors shake
Every time a truck rolls by
Someone smashed the door window and removed the basement key
Lie and wonder who it was while suspicion falls on me
Landlord leaves these little notes and I got one last Thursday
Crime wave in the neighborhood and your lease runs out next May

Mr. Vest currently resides in Evanston, IL, where he recently co-founded Mrs. Mopp's Good Time Party Band. ... more
