Uncouth Operator

*This poem is sung to the music of Sade's seminal song, "Smooth Operator." Intro: He’s ranting with a spiteful hurl, and taunting with a choler heart Spewing crude statements, making lewd comments He’s hated in seven languages Zircon nights and silicon lights, sinthetic high in the sky Hades help him, when he falls Crass carat life, grifter boy He crawls in space with hubris haste and mischievous joy Backroom lights and back alley nights Few do enquire his penthouse ire of shakedown heights No place for losers or gullible hearts when his diss enchantment wants to lip dance Got head space for suckers with nowhere to pity park Chorus: Mo’ jeers to cast, he’s an uncouth operator Uncouth operator, uncouth operator Uncouth operator Roast to roast, NY to Fargo, vitriol rail Across the Rio water and Mex border, to Amarillo, insults assail He’s an uncouth operator Uncouth operator, uncouth operator Uncouth operator Cobra face do debase, he viper coax and venom tox Boa greed to disgrace A license to hate, annoyance to scold Forge all your apathy pain into fools goad His thoughts volcanic glow, but his words erupt cold Chorus: No cheers to cast, he’s an uncouth operator Uncouth operator, uncouth operator Uncouth operator Roast to roast, NY to Fargo, vitriol rail Across the Rio water and Mex border, to Amarillo, insults assail Mo’ jeers to cast, he’s an uncouth operator Uncouth operator, uncouth operator Uncouth operator
