Jim Zielinski Writes "Forbidden Parkway III:  Road Rage

Of MICE AND MEN

(to Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend

from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”) – JIM & TEE

 

BOTH:       John Steinbeck wrote “Of Mice and Men”
As every teacher taught us,

But you won’t learn much from George and Len…
While suff’ring ri-gor mortis!

 

TEE:           A touch on the arm can be

Quite det-ri-men-tal,

Cause LENNY is a girl’s LAST friend…

 

JIM:            A hug can be grand, if – the

And leaves you feelin’ co-ma-tose…

 

TEE:           He will cry

As life ebbs by…

And he’s sorry it all had to end…

 

JIM:            So but-ton your blouses,

And stick to your spouses!

 

BOTH:          LENNY is a girl’s LAST friend…

 

TEE:           (I don’t mean Curly!) or (And also puppies!)

 

BOTH:          LENNY is a girl’s LAST friend…

 

JIM:            (Oh, shoot him, Georgie!)

 

(Harmony!) 

 

BOTH:          LENNY – IS A – GIRL’S – LAST – FRIEND!

TERI:        You’ll have to GUESS which one this is…
