To sing duets with your dead dad,

  -- A most unlikely twosome.

Perhaps the thing is kind of sad,

  -- Or is it kind of gruesome?

Natalie Cole decided to try it.

  -- Recording with the dead.

And boy oh boy, did people buy it!

 -- That much must be said.

If you’re half of a musical act,

And share your partner’s bed,

It’s simply a practical fact:

Be careful where you tread.

Yet, once in awhile you find

(Or so the tale is told),

A successful ménage of the kind:

To wit, Fizdale and Gold.
