the Chorus though, send me any suggestions.

Lyrics:                                        OO            OO
      O()O          O()O
You heard about, "be your own man"             OO            OO
You talk alot and loud                                U  U
Illustrate the obvious boy                             UU
You're mentally endowed

Honestly, a book you read once lets you
Think in rhyme.  The old extreme sits
Pale and molds now for the
Millionth time
Wilma's rainbow of peaceful colors
