Lula Mae

Did you hear what happened to her?

did you hear what happened to lula mae?

rumor is she got discovered at a burger place

sipping coke through a straw those cupid lips

and the talent man told her to give the world a kiss

so he put her in the pictures miss starring role

reading line after line can’t seem to cope

swallowed her morals no time to choke

now she’s sniffing her coke up through her nose

did you hear what happened to peggy B?

she was chosen to play odette in the spring

prima ballerina assoulta cherie

she killed the swan in her final scene

yet little did peggy know 

that wicked swan had a mind of its own

so it put diet pills inside her drink

and poor peggy dropped dead at pound 73

did you hear what happened to neely O?

small town girl walking in the runway shows

a few bright seasons and a cover too

her beauty sculpted from a porcelain statue

but new girls came and the phone calls stopped

her sparkle faded and her name they forgot

so she begged the industry oh pretty please

now old neely’s off her feet and down on her knees
