Guess Who's Coming After Dinner testo
Dave Lippman
Testo
Frederick the Great and Errol Flynn
Edna St. Vincent and James Baldwin
Tennessee Williams, and Virginia Woolf
Socrates, who battled bureaucracies
Aristotle, who let the philosophical cat out of the bottle
Sophocles, who..........rhymed with Socrates
It's a secret just between nous
Though everybody knows it's not easy being bluish
That all of these guys and dolls were
Gay
And by the way,
Lawrence of Arabia was not turned on by labia
Richard the Lion-Hearted was quite a groover
Walt Whitman, Tchaikovsky and J. Edgar Hoover
Virgil and Leonardo
And Plato, don't ya know
And Michelangelo
Bessie Smith and Cole Porter
All of the above and more in that precise order
and maybe
James I, Edward & Julius II, Richard, William & George III,
and Alexander the Great
(Now on the other hand,)
William Shatner, Lauren Bacall
and Dinah Shore, the queen of them all
Neil and Paul, both named Simon
If you think I'm reduced to simple rhymin'
I'm only human, how about that Paul Newman
I'm not talking about who they lay
I'm just sayin' they're
Jewish
Sandy Koufax, Jesus Christ
Through his mom, see, and Noam Chomsky
Groucho, Harpo, even Chico
Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe
And Barry Goldwater, too
All those Broadway guys with their melodies a-swirlin'
Gershwin, Kern, and Lerner and Irving Berlin,
Jerry Lewis, Tony Curtis, George Burns, Sid Caesar, Jack Benny, Alan King,
Those are the comedians I think I'll skip the cabbies
Go straight to America's Jewish mothers, Ann Landers
And Dear Abby
Al Jolson, Joel Grey, Johnny Clegg, and Lenny Bruce
They're really quite a lot
And in case you were wondering
Leno and Letterman, NOT
But the rest of em were,
I know, 'cause I've been tracin'
And believe it or not, even Jackie Mason!
These are the few, not Marines, just Jews
I thought I'd bring them back
It's always good to keep track
You know already there are kids
who don't believe you
when you tell them Michael Jack
son was black
You know Lazlo Loewenstein as Peter Lorre
Ramon Estevez as Martin Sheen
Betty Jane Persky was Lauren Bacall
Bernard Schwartz was Tony Curtis
And Alexandra Zuck was Sandra Dee
And Lawrence of Arabia was not turned on by labia
Edna St. Vincent and James Baldwin
Tennessee Williams, and Virginia Woolf

Aristotle, who let the philosophical cat out of the bottle
Sophocles, who..........rhymed with Socrates
