In Elderly Man’s Monthly,
I read the glaring news,  
“Now… Toerag Appearing
In Hat and ‘Gator Shoes!”

It seems he’s taken residence
in nursing home, it’s true;
A convalesque dancer
Wearing only hat and shoes!

With tambourine in hand
(A bedpan to you and me)
He bowels to make a movement
Relaxing, in the groove.

He dances first in toga,  
Then, drops the safety pin!
Oh my goodness, oh my gosh!
There’s nothing from the chin!

From their stations, staff exclaims;
Wildly, he takes his stance,
“Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
you forgot your doggone pants!”
  
His hat, he tips graciously,
Lowering it in place,
Before the ladies all around
Can look him in the face.

Behind, the nurses needle him
With ravings so risqué
From cheek to cheek he blushes,
As they shout, “Re-play! Re-play!

With a bed pan in his hand,
Like a torch held high in sky,
He circles one more time around
when a syringe taps into thigh.

Boo!  Hiss!  The elders scream!
It’s of Toerag we all dream!
You’ve broken all our hearts
And sedated our Elvis king!
