The Ballade of Billy Montana
an infinite number of monkeys are making a ham sandwich
later the sandwich is indicted by a grand jury
somewhere Sol Wachtler is laughing
meanwhile the jukebox is playing “The Gambler”
as Billy Montana speeds by the bar on his lightcycle
we all stopped dancing hours ago
in fact, nobody can quite remember where this place is or
how we got here & there doesn’t seem to be a door
the barman keeps serving us, though, so we stay
you’ve got to know when to hold em
and so forth
