lyrics

Bake a cake. Drill a hole. Go to the gym. Heat your house.
Blend a drink. Blast your guitar. Dry your clothes. Turn on the light.
Ring me up. Toast a slice. Blow out your hair. Lock the safe.
Grind the beans. Shave your face. Run the dishwasher. Order a book.
Charge it to my card. Purify the air. Listen to your favorite song.
Call your girlfriend on the phone.

Juice an orange. Set your clock. Make some popcorn. Test your blood.
Watch a movie. Wash your clothes. Ride the subway. Boil some water.
Push the buzzer. Get directions. Replace a knee. Vacuum the rug.
Take a hot steaming shower. Send a message.

Grind, shave, run, blow, heat, drill, blast, turn, ring, blend, lock, dry
Bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake, bake a cake.

Phoebe Snow about to go
on a trip to Buffalo
Phoebe, Phoebe
“My gown stays white from morn till night. My gown stays white.
On the road to Anthracite.” *

* Phoebe Snow was a fictitious New York socialite created by Ernest Elmo Calkins (D.L.&W.) in 1900 for an advertising campaign for the Lakawana coal-powered railroad. Her image was accompanied by short rhymes like the one in the last paragraph above.
