01-21-2020 The day the Lord took my best friend from me And I kinda find it funny, but not really though I should've been six-feet 20 years ago I never forget all the laughs we had in the hoopty Whipping through the country He had a way of making cloudy days sunny But what I miss most was when he would son me "Like Travie, do this if you love me" I love you Bob 2-0-2-0 So long to the bitterness Just a spoonful of cinnamon You know, I know This knee on my neck is causing me to choke Like a spoonful of cinnamon Last year I flew to Jesup, Georgia To meet my papa and my nana, the family of my mama All of my life I was scared he never cared for me Because my father was black, he couldn't handle that I could see his shadow in the doorway next to the windchime That's poetic justice 'cause it looked just the same as mine (He hugged me) then he apologized for lost time And then I lost them both, and I damn near lost my mind 2-0-2-0 So long to the bitterness Just a spoonful of cinnamon You know, I know This knee on my neck is causing me to choke Like a spoonful of cinnamon Feel like I'm stuck in a hole, it's kind of cynical Downing these bottles is getting old It's not the way, it's not the way, it's not the way Too many funerals, biting 'em down to cuticles It's not the way, it's not the way, it's not the way Over again and over again Over again, over again 2-0-2-0 You probably think I had season tickets to funerals I'm so sick of seeing Rest In Peace tee shirts I swear I prayed so many prayers, my fucking knees hurt And Covid got us all stuck in the house like Mouse Trap And ain't no telling when the hell we gonna bounce back Plus it's open season on the melanin inclined We all had shitty years, thanks for hearing mine 2-0-2-0 So long to the bitterness Just a spoonful of cinnamon You know, I know This knee on my neck is causing me to choke Like a spoonful of cinnamon Feel like I'm stuck in a hole, it's kind of cynical Downing these bottles is getting old It's not the way, it's not the way, it's not the way Too many funerals, biting 'em down to cuticles It's not the way, it's not the way, it's not the way Over again and over again Over again, over again

Mary Poppins: Super... cali... fragilisitc... expiadlidocious! That's not a word! Mary Poppins: Of course it's a word. And unless I'm very much mistaken, I think it's going to proveto be a rather useful one. When trying to express oneself, it's frankly quite absurd To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen You need to find a word to say precisely what you mean. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Mrs. Corry, Customers Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle ay

Boring, just like other nannies Thinking parks are good for us It's just statues, ducks and grannies I don't understand all the fuss Is she doing it to spite us? We could lose her for a lark Perhaps it's all a plot I'll tell you what She seems so different But I bet she's not There is nothing to excite us In the park Who are you? I'm Neleus, and I thought Mary Poppins would never let me get down from this plinth! Ain't it a glorious day Right as a morning in May I feel like I could fly Have you ever seen The grass so green? Oh, Bert. Or a bluer sky? Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary Bad days I've never known You can ask the passing statuary Nothing's ever set in stone You're looking tip-top from top to toe. If I may say so. Thank you, Bert. And you may. Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love Oi! Do you think Neleus is lookin' a bit timid today? No. Why? I knew him when he was a little bolder. A little boulder, ha ha! To see a statue dance like that You can't believe your eyes You fear you've lost your marbles But the thinker thinks you're wise So you should hasten, call a mason Tell him what you've seen If he knows his craft he'll think you're daft But we'll know what you mean Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love Now Notre Dame can cause alarm And I've me own hunch why Those gargoyles need to gargle 'Cos their throats get rather dry And just between us, I know Venus Has a vice that shocks She often drinks with a sphinx who winks It's neat and on the rocks Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love Let's go for jaunty saunter You are bound to make your mark Looks like all of you were all born to Take a promenade in the park With those finely-chiselled features You can look down from above Each man out with his dog would stand agog To see a statue take a gentle jog It's (it's) no (no) wonder that it's Mary That (that) we (we) love Love love love Love love love No wonder that it's Mary that we love It's a jolly holiday with you, Bert Gentlemen like you are few Though you're just a diamond in the rough, Bert Underneath, your blood is blue Your blood is blue You'd never think of pressing your advantage Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed A lady needn't fear when you are near Your sweet gentility is crystal clear It's crystal clear Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert It's a jolly holiday A jolly, jolly holiday with you With you Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary Mary makes your heart so light When the day is grey and ordinary Mary makes the sun shine bright Oh happiness is blooming all around her The daffodils are smiling at the dove Let's go for jaunty saunter We are bound to make our mark Looks like all of us were all born to Take a promenade in the park With our finely-chiseled features We can look down from above When Mary holds your hand You feel so grand Your heart starts beating Like a big brass band Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary It's no wonder that it's Mary that we love No wonder that it's Mary that we love
