Hey, what can I say? The Dude's just, uh . .  protecting his 4th  
amendment rights, by uh . . . taking swift action on these fifth  
amendment issues.

Nothing a spectrum analyzer couldn't resolve.

It's a theme that's a constant in Pynchon, Gnostic paranoia. But, hey— 
who wants to be left holding the bag?

	My DOPER'S CADENZA

	If you hear, a "box" so sweet, Play-in' tunes-with, a peppy beat,

	That's just MY DOPER'S, CADEN-ZA-A-A-A!

	Mel-o-dees, that getcha so,

	Where'd they come from? I don't know!

	(h-ha) It's just MY DOPER'S CADEN-ZA(A)A-A-A!

	This is

	the "cadenza" part-

	[scherzoso]

	Now I know it's not as keen as old Rossini

	[snatch of La Gazza Ladra here}, Nor as grand as Bach, or
	Beethoven-or-Brahms (bubububoo{oo) 00 (sung to opening of
	Beethoven 5th, with full band]), But 1'd give away the fames, of
	a hundred Harry


	James


	... wait, fame? of a hundred Jame? Jameses ...


	uh ... fameses? Hmm ...


	I-hi-hif this little-song, can-bring, you-to-my arms! Dum de dum,
	de-dum de dee,

	Oh, it's better than a symphonee-

	It's MY DOPER'S CADENZA, to yoooouuu!
