ο κότσυφας του σύμπαντος
Τι όμορφα που είναι όταν ξυπνάς πριν ξημερώσει
... κι ανοίγεις το παράθυρο και μπαίνει φτερουγίζοντας
όλο φωτάκια και δροσιές ο κότσυφας του σύμπαντος
και λέει: —Επιθυμώ τη δύναμή σου για να φέρω
σε πέρας το άγαλμα της μέρας.
Πραγματικά, καλλίπυγος κι εύζωνος και γλυκιά
η μέρα προμηνύεται και κάνει
χαρές βαθιά η καρδιά και παροτρύνει
το στήθος να συλλάβει στον αέρα
βέλη και δόρατα μεγάλων έργων.
Κρίμα!
Έρχεται ο ήλιος πύρινο γρανάζι πεινασμένο
στην βρώμικη φωλιά της πόλης και αρχίζει
να πνίγει τα ημερόπουλα: αίμα και σάρκα
μυρίζει και ο κότσυφας του σύμπαντος γυρίζει
ποιος ξέρει πού. Πολύ φοβάμαι...

Do Re Mi
Lots of folks back East, they say, is leavin' home every day,
Beatin' the hot old dusty way to the California line.
'Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin' out of that old dust bowl,
They think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but here's what they find
Now, the police at the port of entry say,
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."

Oh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks, you ain't got the do re mi,
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do re mi.
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.

But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do re mi.
You want to buy you a home or a farm, that can't deal nobody harm,
Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea.
Don't swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are,
Better take this little tip from me.
'Cause I look through the want ads every day
But the headlines on the papers always say:
