Zimmerman Opus
Coming on the heels of his Kennedy Center Honors and Grammy win, there was only one
thing left for Bob Dylan to accomplish: Singing LIVE at a Loser Brunch. Short of that, on March
1st, 1998 at the Clarendon Grill, a pale, gravel-voiced Dave Zarrow rose from a bed of pain to
perform this tune accompanied only by his harmonica and America's pharmacopoeia.
Welcome to the March '98 Loser Brunch,
Look at the size of this Loser bunch,
I'd introduce you all, well I guess it's my choice,
I think I'll wait till April.......and save my voice,
I'm feelin' kinda sick, can I sing? Maybe!
Give Chuck Smith a dollar for the Loser Baby.
Jennifer Hart please help me, who's this fella, Ma?
Oh, wait, I just remembered, it's Kevin Mellema!
Cameron Phillips here just joined the Patriots Drum Corps,
I'd tell you the rest but my throat's too sore.
Loserfest is coming, sometime this summer,
Hull & Kammer are in charge. Hey, you two! BUMMER!
Be sure to tell them which time and place is your pick,
Hopefully somewhere where the food won't make us sick.
Gimme $18 for Depravda if you find you're in arrears,
On the Website you can now find all of the Ears.
Year 5 has nearly gone by the proverbial boards,
Next month will be the annual Flushie Awards.
......(Instrumental break. If only the instrument broke.)
Now I heard that some of you went down to the Post. Gee, that's swell,
I hope...(mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble).......can go to helllllllll,
(At this point, Peter Pflug, Proprietor of the Clarendon Grill stood to receive
his punishment.)
Now here's Peter Pflug, he's our host,
He's a big fan of the contest, in the Washington Post,
Pete? I guess you heard that I just won a Grammy,
I wish I'd got my omelet with salami,
I was sick before I got here but your food didn't make me sicker,
Here, Pete, we'd like to give you a couple bumperstickers.
