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!
