I like Christmas in July
French toast at midnight
Ice water in wintertime
Beethoven on Soul Train
New York cheesecake from New Jersey
African Violets in America
Hot chocolate at an ice rink
Italian pizza at a Chinese bar
A romantic comedy inside a thriller novel
No rhyme or reason
At any season
‘til Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane
But no murder in my name
I like Irene Cara but I don’t need fame
Just lox me up with a bagel and release me
I so glad that I am free
