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!
i’m in love. ross you are a genius. hahahah! amazing.
Genius indeed!
