Houdini

You’ve got to ditch that little queenie
If you ever want to dance again
You need to catch little Houdini
Or we never will be friends
Cuz one’s a noun and two’s a verb
And the next one’s a proposition
Lurking in a preposition
Did that snake bring an apple
Or did he feel too ill to travel?
You’ve got to watch that vicious meanie
If you ever want to walk again
You need to think/act like Houdini
Or this is where the story ends
Cuz one’s a noun and two’s a verb
And the next one’s a proposition
Written like a new prescription
Did it all start to unravel
When you fell down the marble stairs?
You’ve got to bottle up that genie
If you ever want to wish again
Can you decamp like a Houdini
And all the messages he sends
Cuz one’s a noun and two’s a verb
And the next one’s an inquisition
Leading to a full confession
He tried on all your shoes,
& Still you missed all the cues
