I was writin' down the words
and tryin' to get the beat right
I heard his voice beside me sigh
and looked round a saw the knight,
you need iambic meter
to get words from the gutter
and then you rhyme a bit
read it out and don't mutter.
I said
I don't like meter oh no
I love it
I don't like meter oh no
I love it
don't you muff up my words
with all your iambic jazz
don't you muff up my words
so I write without pizzazz
Well he looked at my sonnet chain
he said I'll give you a tanner
I said you got to be kiddin' dude
its worthy of an AP banner
He said it needs meter
now write it, it's better with a beat
you won't be sorry you did it
and found your iambic feet
I said
I don't like meter oh no
I love it
I don't like meter oh no
I love it
don't you muff up my words
with all your iambic jazz
don't you muff up my words
so I write without pizzazz

For the English Knight who found my iambic feet thus inflicting my sonnetry on the world.

Thank you so much.It's one of my fave tracks too. I don't often write funnies but when it's for Jeff, well a girl has to do what a girl has to do.
