When college literature class makes no sense.
Hi, I'm "One Wiener and Whine". But I don't actually drink wine.
Story behind the song
Written long ago, in school, after being forced to read, and write a term paper on a poem that was pages long and made no sense whatsoever...it didn't even rhyme.
Lyrics
The Poem - One Wiener & Whine
A7 D7
A poem caught some teachers' eyes
A7 D7
and it they tried to analyze.
G EM
What does this poem have to say?
C D7
What does it mean for us today?
A7 D7
So carefully they read each line,
A7 D7
So carefully looked for some sign
G EM
of meaning hidden in a word.
C D7
A meaning so obscured and blurred
A7 D7
It took a scholar's eye to see
A7 D7
and find what meaning it could be.
G EM
They scrutinized, corrected it
C D7
and surgically dissected it
A7 D7
and scanned it with a microscope
A7 D7
but finally had to give up hope.
G EM
For what did all that trouble bring?
C A
It did not mean a single thing.
