More classic rock and yoga

My friend Ross (you know Ross) casually laid down some PURE GENIUS on me.

…

“Yoga” to the tune of “Lola” by the Kinks.

…

I highly recommend playing the song as you sing Ross’s lyrics over-top so you can see just how subtle and thoughtful this send-up is.

I begged him to let me put the lyrics up on this here blog, and thank GOODNESS he said yes, because the world should not be denied this masterpiece!!!

…

You’ll be humming this all day.

I gave up my membership down at the gym

where all they drink is

protein shakes and diet cola, c-o-l-a cola

…

Then I saw this chick contortin’ on the grass

I said, “What’s that called, girl, if I may ask?”

She said yoga, y-o-g-a yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

…

Well, I’m not the world’s most flexible guy,

but when I did a wheel I nearly broke my spine,

oh with yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

…

Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand

how she reached through her legs to her back with her hands,

oh with yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

…

Well, we sat into padmasana

and worked on controlling our prana.

While standing up and posing like a tree,

she said, “Dear boy, won’t you say aum with me?”

…

Well, I’m not the world’s most spiritual guy,

but when I heard that sound I felt it deep inside

thanks to yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

…

I leaned on my hands

I got up in crow

I fell to the floor

I got in child’s pose

Then I breathed out and inhaled deeply

…

That’s the way that I want it to stay

I always want it to be that way

doing yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

…

Strength is for boys, feelings are for girls

It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world

except for yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

…

Well, I left home just a week before

and I’d never said Namaste before,

but that yogini showed me how it was done

and said, “Dear boy, we’re gonna salute the sun!”

…

Well, I’m not the world’s most masculine man,

but I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man

who studies yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga

yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga, yo-yo-yo-yo-yoga!
