(Appreciated when listening to Billie’s Bounce, by Charlie Parker)
Although she weighs 150 pounds
Every ounce
Billie Brown's
Concentrated right where it counts
In all her skirts, shirts, sweaters, slacks, and gowns
Stacked up into some mellow mounds
A 'jiggling up and down
So Billie's got a bounce
Billie's bounce. Billie's bounce
Her jiggle when she wiggles and walks aroun'
Got some clowns
Here in town
Set to give their spouses the grounds
To get divorced and scuttle their bank accounts
Husbands are howlin' like they're hounds
So eager to announce
They go for Billie's bounce
Billie's bounce. Billie's bounce
Though sisters say her jiggle is too pronounced
As they frown
She astounds
Brothers making serious sounds
About this full physique of Billie Brown's
Cats who are plotin' how to pounce
On all the sass and flounce
Built into Billie's bounce
Billie's bounce Billie's bounce
