New King Cole


Sing a song of sixth-sense, a pocket full of sign
Four-and-twenty omens baked in a brine

When the mind is opened, the omens start to sing
Wasn’t that a tainted dish to set before the king?

The king was at the Playboy Mansion, hopping on a bunny
The queen was in her TV parlor, watching something funny

The maid was in the sweatshop, slaving for her pay
When along came an omen, and took her job away
