    Lyrics
    SOUTH STYLE’S MERRY CHRISTMAS IN A BAR THAT ISN’T REAL:
    (A Ragtime Two Step for the Sad Luck Gang)

    South style thumper
    Plugs away at the page,
    Everything going all
    At once now, a big deal
    He is, in this world.
    She would laugh like
    Madman’s keys, striking
    Like gold, grimacing
    At the top, sudden,
    Sharp, perfect and tight.
    South style keeps
    His game clean, no,
    Not a midget shot for him,
    Still, could slurp one
    Out of mad sadness.
    Chalk it up to lack of
    Scrab, or maybe Mingus
    Talking to his
    Unconscious from 86’
    South style wonders,
    Then turns to worry but
    Things are coming
    Together now, and it
    Should all work out for
    Him and his in the end.
    A pox played finger roll
    Kneads out the beats
    From the back of the bar
    And the mixer for a
    Margarita provides the
    Squeal of the Sax and
    High Tone harps about
    Straight 8 Johnny G’s
    Eight ball in his pocket
    And South style struts
    And crimps in shadowed
    Stage silences, fingers
    Glaring and bleating to
    Be shrugged off by snores
    From the chairs.
    Things are sweet in stride.
