Dressed all in black
Tells Coppola to pay

“How deep
Did you really go?”
Cousteau replies
“I don’t care or know
These days,
I just go with the flow”

His swollen pecs

Mr. Whipple Twists
With Mary Poppins
At Studio 54

And pass the juice
Relax a minute
Then lets cut loose”

We’re all Manhattaning
It’s the seventies
It’s all happening
It’s the seventies
