A Spike Jones satirical spoof

Was never demure or aloof;

When a ballad begins

He is sure to use pins

To explode the whole thing through the roof.

Bonding


I wonder what drink he preferred,

(This man of whom I've not heard).

Was this Mr. Bond,

Like that other one, fond

Of martinis when shaken not stirred?
