Verse 8
Those were David Bowie on piano
And an amazing pair of trousers
And that's going to appear on
an LP
That could very easily be
called "Hunky Dory"
When it finally comes out
Umm, that's if we can find out
how "Hunky Dory" is spelt
This next one, the lineup remains the same
But it's gonna be recorded as
a single by Arnold Corn
Who I mentioned earlier, the group
And it's called "Looking For A Friend"
And I think that's about it for this one
How did you like the song?
