Eulogy to Lenny Bruce
I've lost a friendAnd I don't know whyBut never againWill we get together to die.And why after every last shotWas there always another ?Why after all you hadn't gotDid you leave your life to your mother?
And Honey HarlowThe singer burlesque queenHow did she knowYou needed morphine?Why didn't you listenTo the warning words of your friendsWhile they told you so?I know you couldn't listenTo people talk aboutWhat they didn't know.
I've lost a friendAnd I don't know whyBut never againWill we get together to die.And why after every last shotWas there always another?Why after all you hadn't gotDid you leave your life to your mother ?
