Fat ugly fat man swam

In a red tire made of stone

A painted lady paddled next to him

With two poodles on her lap

Garbo quietly picked a flower

While the chauffeur won his check again

And barrymore took a noon day nap? ? ?

And diamond fell like rain

Cisco kid and a bald headed waitress

Trapped 'neath a bed of brass

The french cook served them chocolates

And some cold cuts on the grass

Louilla ripped her zebra pants

In the polo lounge

And errol flynn was not let in

Cause he was coming down

Up in zanadu diamonds fell like rain

Citizen kane was king poor citizen kane

Valentino suddenly appeared

In his midnight blue tuxedo

Had a falcon on his shoulder

Eating chicken from his hands

And fatty arbuckle waddled by

On way to the bath house green

Frankenstein ate the leading lady

And licked the carcass clean

Up in zanadu diamonds fell like rain

Citizen kane was king poor citizen kane
