Happy Birthday, Srikanth Reddy! [by Anthony Madrid via Facebook]

SRIKANTH REDDY  (5/1)

Chicu-chicu cheek-cheek
Ready on the set
Relegate the television
To the bassinette  

Marmoset and marmalade
Are martyrin’ the dude
Oh, how we gonna execute 
Without exactitude

Boutonnière, boutonnière, 
Buddha bourguignon
And Chicu-chicu cheek-cheek
Rushin’ at the sun

Sigh away, Starlight!
Leisure, suit yourself!
Suitable, immutable
And Buddha on the shelf

With a pitter-pat and cheek-cheek
Never goin’ home
Peter Pan and Queequeg
Floatin’ on the foam

Like an S.O.S. and MAYDAY
—Forty in your ear—
Calling card, calling card!
Sash and boutonnière

[diminuendo:]
Sash and boutonnière . . .
Sash and boutonnière . . .
Calling card, calling card
Sash and boutonnière . . . 

Forty in your ear . . . 
Sash and boutonnière . . .
Calling card, calling card
Sash and boutonnière . . .
