Like the beat comma beat comma beat of the tom hyphen tom,
When the jungle shadows fall.
Like the tick hyphen tick hyphen tock of the stately clock,
As it stands against the wall.
Like the drip comma drip comma drip of the raindrops,
When the summer shower is through.
Some voice within me keeps repeating
Colon, quotation mark.
You comma you comma you, exclamation point.
Close quotation, period, dash.
Night and day, comma.
You are the one, dash.
Only to you comma beneath the moon comma and under the sun.
Semicolon.
Whether near to me or far, dot dot dot,
It's no matter comma darling comma where you are, dash.
I think of you, comma.
Night and day, period. New paragraph.
Night and day, exclamation point.
Under the height of me. Dash.
There's an oh such a hungry yearning comma
Burning parenthesis inside of me.
Closed parenthesis, period.
(Well, "inside of me" is a parenthetical phrase that describes where the yearning is burning.)
And torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you. Asterisk!
('Cause there's a footnote at the bottom that tells who's making love to who.)
Spend my life making love to you.
Day and night?
Night and day, question mark.
Night and day.
Allan Sherman (30 novembre 1924 – 20 novembre 1973) è stato un cantautore, paroliere e produttore televisivo statunitense noto per le sue parodie musicali degli anni '60. Nato a New York da una famiglia ebrea, Sherman iniziò la sua carriera come scrittore di commedie per il teatro e la televisione. Il suo album d'esordio, *My Son, the Folk Singer* (1962), divenne il disco più venduto fino a quel momento, grazie al successo di brani come "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", una parodia del celebre *Dance of the Hours* di Ponchielli. Sherman ha continuato a pubblicare album di successo negli anni '60 e '70, caratterizzati da un umorismo intelligente e orecchiabili melodie. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo anche "The Ballad of Irving Berlin" e "A Bushel and a Peck". La sua musica ha contribuito a definire l'umorismo musicale americano degli anni '60, influenzando generazioni di artisti.
