Day: July 20, 2019

I prance like a royal — regal and lean
I prowl like a panther — deadly and mean

I’m lush and lazy and I’m no ones fool
got a bad-ass human and we’re both cool

we take no lip from no-bo-dy-no-way
get on our radar and you better pray

we’re tough as leather and we got no fear
and I got somethin’ I wancha’ t’hear

so sit back and shut up and don’t be rude
I’m gonna tell you ‘bout my bad-ass dude

he rolls with a finger-snap jazz-jive strut
don’t mess with him ’cause you might get cut

he wears silken, french-cuffed, ivory shirts
they are soft as butter-sweet cream desserts

got diamond cufflinks of pure white gold
he’s high fashion treasure – precious and bold

pearl stick-pinned, satin tie — it’s knotted tight
lookin’ like Paris on Saturday night

desert-tan gabardine three-pleated slacks
euro-cuffed, steam creased — they are sharp as tacks

soft snakeskin braces buttoned sterling bright
hip — and killer as a rattlesnake’s bite

black-patton striders with real ‘gator spats
we step out classy as the coolest cats

red pinstriped linen coat double-breasted
pure uptown savvy — teal velvet vested

sportin’ a full-blocked, rolled-brim, felt chapeau
in the deepest red of a fine bordeaux

we’re crisp and smooth as a dry martini
he calls me Lil’Queen — his name is Ziggy
