BUFFOONS, BABOONS AND BASSOONS

BUFFOONS, BABOONS AND BASSOONS
(A snippet of future history by Doug Crowder)

One of the top bands in the Nation of West Atlantis in the early 40s was King Bruce & the Buffoons, sometimes affectionately referred to as KB&B. The band featured King Bruce, with his ostentatious crown, luxurious purple robe, and signature gold guitar. He was backed by anywhere from two to five Buffoons, adorned in various brightly colored costumes. They were best known for their hard, driving sound; but their biggest hit was a soft love ballad, which was the title track to their fourth album.

BUFFOONS, BABOONS AND BASSOONS

(Lyrics and music by King Bruce)

My friends all say
That I’m too good for you,
And don’t you know, baby,
That’s probably true.

After all, I’m Royalty
and you’re just a peasant,
But you got a great body
and your disposition is pleasant.

That’s why buffoons, baboons and bassoons
Could never keep me away from you.
Buffoons, baboons and bassoons
Could never make me be untrue.

Well, they say I got more women
Than you could shake a stick at
But all those other women
You could throw a brick at.

Cause you’re the only woman
Who really matters to me
That’s why I shower you
With flowers, gifts and flattery

And that’s why buffoons, baboons and bassoons
Could never keep me away from you.
Buffoons, baboons and bassoons
Could never, ever, make me be untrue.
