Get Your Act Together!
Get your act together,
congregate your clowns,
summon your assistants —
give them gaudy gowns.
Fetch your feathered flippers,
mount your mottled cow —
cry out to your critics,
“My act’s together now!”
congregate your clowns,
summon your assistants —
give them gaudy gowns.
Fetch your feathered flippers,
mount your mottled cow —
cry out to your critics,
“My act’s together now!”
