So you want to know what happened What went down with the Crayon King Following my coronation That was held in the 'Stute's east wing As you know, everything was great Good times were being had by all It was really just wonderful How everyone answered the call Pablo & Leo were in the paint Laying down colorful pigment In a tag-team mural contest Against Angelo and Vincent Justin Kase arrived Justin Thyme As One Flew Over the main stage And Dr. Moose cut a fine rug When released from the go-go cage And I just melted in my wax Having popped up out of the cake Candles aflame upon my head With cream frosting, the crown to take It was Justin Conceivable How it managed to come about And that our old Nurse Crachet Failed to come running with a shout But there was one amongst use who Did not enjoy the party so He coveted the crown himself That Norman Rockwell cat named Toe It was while on my quick trip back To my comfy white padded cell Where I was brewing up a new batch Of flammable paraffin gel That Toe's first attack came flying An old smelly sock to my snout Followed by his poetic words A foul combo that knocked me out I found myself in fitful dreams Where I was made to slave away Wearing a monkey suit with tie All twenty five hours a day They took away my color sticks And handed me spread sheet with pen Said "Get to work little monkey!" "No more can you play in your pen." "It's money you must make for us While at the organ we do play, Go bang some windows for our cash No rest for you until they pay." I banged and banged and banged away For all the money that was due For several weeks I banged away Perhaps you heard the banging too. Now maybe it was all that banging The sound that finally made me think Or the constant drip upon my head From the janitor's stopped up sink My first waking impression was The janitor's closet from Hell Everything was slimy and dank With a terrible musty smell I stumbled out into the hall To find myself within the 'Stute Yet what I wore was not my crown But that of a gorilla suit! As luck would have it, there she was Nurse C was first upon the scene And thinking me a real monkey She used her tranq-gun with morphine Who's to say how long I was out But the next thing that I knew Was that I woke up in a cage At the Los Angels Zoo So the next time you're down this way Be sure to bring the monkey fruit And if it is possible too A knife for this zipperless suit ----- A small bit of background... I work as a fundraiser for a public radio station and we just finished one of our bi-annual major events. It takes about 30 days for start to finish... not including the three months prep. Next week... Vacation! I think I'll take my daughters to the zoo. |

Wow, okay I think I know what you're talking about, but that doesn't matter cause I laughed anyway. I think I saw you down there at the zoo--was that you banging the cage with your box of crayons? |

Yep! That was me Martie... stole them from a kid who got to close to the bars. Unfortunately they're all broken, paper peeled off, teeth marked and dull. Can't do a damn think with 'em. Shere hell for a two pack a day colorer. Hey! You with the 64 pack.... Come here! That's right... a little closer... closer... closer... |

I know what you mean, I was there at the scene when the high coronation began. You popped from the cake, and make no mistake, you were quite the fine King Go-Go Man! I think that Nurse C, (and I'm sure you'll agree) had a thing for the way that you popped... With wax dripping down from the flame of the crown, her jaw pretty quickly soon dropped. And all of those painters and Justins and waiters were impressed by your entry, for sure. It didn't make sense, though, that Rockwell was tense, so I ducked behind my bedroom door! The Cratchet, my friend, had you poked in the end with some wild kind of drug that's real funky. Next Thyme, grab a brush and we'll paint on her tush a nightmare that looks like a monkey!

Well my Wicked One form the East A pretty monkey I may be But first and foremost an artist Not just some flying chimpanzee Colorful Crayons are my choice To express my artistic side But try to glom onto this ape And I'll watercolor your green hide See, I just love to watch things melt And Ms. Red Slippers is a snitch She told me "No fire required" Just add water for instant liquid witch [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (edited 11-24-1999).] |

Ladies Hoot, D, Dove, Sally and Pepper... glad you all enjoyed, I aim to serve. Thanks for leaving your marks. Same for you Sir Mark... I guess when you leave your mark... you... well you know where this is going. And so now I'm going over there. Justin Thyme... aka Leo... As soon as I make it out of this habitat I'm catching the first plane back to the 'Stute. As for Nurse C... me thinks that Pablo already got to that tush. (Good to be back my friend) [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (edited 11-24-1999).] |

Oh, Andrew Scott what did I do? I promise I did not know it was you. I'm calling now to the zoo I will have them releasing you. I've been wondering why everyone's been placing crayons on to your unslept upon bed. I thought you were hiding again from the monsters in the closet. |

Hangin' with my primate cousins Ten days in a gorilla suit Until the call came from Nurse C "Bring that moldy ape too the 'Stute!" Well I can't say I'm not thankful For my release came Justin Thyme Because LuLu the chimpanzee Was starting to look mighty fine Now that I'm back amongst my friends The time has come to don my crown But first I must light a fire And start melting these crayons down You see, LuLu was one smart chimp A graduate from M I T She gave me a new formula That brews gelatin T N T And when I get it all mixed up I'll find my friend Norm in his cell Deposit a stick in his sock And color the wall with Rockwell Yep! That's what I think I will do Start a new trend in object art If Koko can sale her paintings Than why not exploded Toe parts? |

I was gonna whine that there'd been a party and I'd missed it... but I think I'm gonna breathe a sigh of relief that I missed it! LOL. Now quit being mean to that sweet Toe! LOL. You must have eaten too much crayon wax! |

Ah Lady Suthern Now don't you play coy I saw you at the party And it was a real joy The painters are asking With out being to crude When will you come back For one more pose in the nude ... talk about a nice frame! They got the first one hanging in the main lobby of the 'Stute. |
