The Magician from Big Knickknacks by MLEMON
Miss Itrus:
I was once chatting with a melancholy Canadian man who was telling me about his friend whose girlfriend left him for a magician. Paul Simon says that there are fifty ways to leave your lover, and I think that's a pretty hilarious and heartbreaking example.
Mr. Meringue: I am beginning to think that the mark of a notable guitar solo is if it doesn't sound like a guitar solo.
Miss Itrus:
This is also the first song I've ever succeeded in writing in a time signature that wasn't 4/4 or 3/4, so this marks an exciting new period for us.
Mr. Meringue:
Wait 'til they hear Monkey's Elevator.

Lyrics
He sleeps in velvet cocoons on the full moon
How about you?
He dines on nothing but wishbones and plum juice
Ain’t that the truth?
We’re waiting
He’s ready
We’re waving
He’s waving
We’re waiting
And he’s gone
He sings with desert coyotes in the same key
Wish it were me
How many tricks are there hiding up his sleeve?
Can you believe?
He charms up ladies like me with one little wink
Oh lord help me
We’re waiting
He’s ready
We’re waving
He’s waving
We’re waiting
Now he’s gone
Teach me how you do what you do and then some
Cause I’d like to put such a spell on you too
