And Elton John's got two fine ladies,
And Dr John's got three,
And I'm still seein' them same ol' sleazos,
That I used to see


Amazing how perceptive Silverstein was when he wrote this song. Pretty much every name mentioned is still significant and/or iconic almost 50 years later.

In a ska-ish mood this morning. I've enjoyed Dekker's vocal performances for a while but only recently watched a video of him performing live. Dude is fascinating, as is the song. A couple subtle, easy to miss lyrical changes in the second repetition and the downtrodden man has had enough of slaving for bread, sir.
