[REMASTERED version July 2015]

Happy St. Patrick's Day and time to have some fun again! I jotted down these lyrics and title a few weeks ago courtesy of a couple+ folks who would quickly recognize my inspiration if they ever bother to listen (bet they won't! ;). I had a general idea of how I wanted to present and harmonize on the word "Drrrama!" as well as thoughts on special sounds for the track, then providence placed Poletti's "Boogie Woogie in C" backing track on my SoundCloud dashboard. [https://soundcloud.com/john-poletti/boogie-woogie-in-c]

John (Poletti) Laurence's piece fit like a glove once I worked out the chorus and verse structure, and it saved me hours of practice to play a passable piano boogie woogie myself. Thank you, John, for allowing me to create a crazy quilt to cover your fine and fun piano piece. Besides vocals, my additions include a unique percussion riff, baritone & tenor saxes, piano octave raking, a variety of Yamaha sound effects, and four rather famous sound clips from film and TV.

lyrics

BIPOLAR VORTEX BOOGIE [DRRRAMA!]

M-myyy, Mister! [Drrrama!]
You say you don't need it,
And yet you go and feed it [Drrrama!]
Lying and deceiving,
Cheating and a-thieving [Drrrama!]

S-saaay Sister! [Drrrama!]
You claim that you hate it,
So why do you create it? [Drrrama!]
Lying and deceiving,
Cheating and a-thieving [Drrrama!]

CHORUS (twice):
It's a Bipolar Vortex Boogie
It's a Bipolar Vortex Boogie
You're falsely positive,
And you're positively false!

W-whooa, Buster! [Drrrama!]
If you try to attract it,
You don't wanna subtract it [Drrrama!]
Lying and deceiving,
Cheating and a-thieving [Drrrama!]
[Drrrama!] [Drrrama!] [Drrrama!]
