Ahem, getting back to music (this is not supposed to be a BS thread), and the Bolcom song in particular...I remember hearing Joan Morris and William Bolcom perform this song (recitative) in a taped concert for PBS and later live. Jody Karin Applebaum has also recorded it on her albums Masterpieces of Cabaret and Serious Fun! (Have to say, I prefer Morris's renditions of the Bolcom cabaret songs and Marni Nixon's renditions of the Schönberg ones.) Although the Masterpieces liner notes include lyrics for most songs, it does not include them for this one. You can download the "Lime Jello" cut from Serious Fun! at Amazon.com.
