I agree with Pat Metheny
Kenny's talents are too teeny
He deserves the crap he's going to get.
Overdubbed himself on Louis
What a musical chop suey
Raised his head above the parapet.
Now Louis Armstrong was the king
He practically invented swing
Hero of the twentieth century.
Did duets with many a fella
Fatha Hines, Bing, Hoagy, Ella
Strange he never thought of Kenny G.
A meeting of great minds, how nice
Like Einstein and Sporty Spice
Digitally fused in an abortion.
Kenny fans will doubtless rave
While Satchmo turns inside his grave
Soprano man's bit off more than his portion.
Brainless pentatonic riffs
Display our Kenny's arcane gifts
But we don't care, his charms are so beguiling.
He does play sharp, but let's be fair
He has such lovely crinkly hair
We hardly notice we're too busy smiling.
How does he hold those notes so long?
He must be a genius? - wrong!
He just has the mindlessness to do it.
He makes Britney sound like scat
If this is jazz I'll eat my hat
An idle threat I'll never have to chew it.
So next time you're in a rendezvous
And Kenny's sound comes wafting through
Don't just wince, eliminate the cause.
Rip the tape right off the Muzak
Pull the plug or steal the fuse, Jack
The whole room will drown you in applause.
Yes, Kenny G has gone too far
The gloves are off, it's time to spar
Grab your hunting rifle, strap your Colt on.
It's open season on our Ken
- Yet I await the moment when
We lay off him and start on Michael Bolton
Oh, I agree with Pat Metheny
Kenny's talents are too teeny....

for those who care to singalong
Passengers will please refrain
From flushing toilets while the train
Is standing in the station, I love you.
We encourage constipation
While the train is in the station
Moonlight always makes me think of you
If you really must pass water
Kindly call the Pullman porter
He'll place a vessel in your vestibule
As I sit here tearing tissue
Oh, my darling, how I miss you
Everything I do, I do for you.
Since I'm going with your daughter
I've had trouble passing water
Sorry that I ever came to town
I'm the guy that did the pushin'
Dirtied up the front seat cushion
Footprints on the dashboard upside down
Promenading in the park,
Goosing statues after dark
If Sherman's horse can take it why can't you |
