TONY
A pair of fluffer scuffers is all I need
it doesn’t matter if their toes are like little pink piggies
Or soft brown monkeys that are smiling
a pair of fluffer scuffers is all I need
You can hear me walking down the hall
it’s almost as though the pigs and monkeys are alive
And Tony Bennett, usually singing on the stereo,
is running away very quickly, and in the other direction
But by now he should know
there is no escape from a pair of fluffer scuffers
After all, he is an elderly man, though gentlemanly
he should be all rights know
That he is no match for a soft brown monkey
or little pink piggies determined in the extreme
A pair of fluffer scuffers is all I need
To do what I was born to do, they say
to an elderly man with a sonorous tone
And a pleasant manner and a friendly gait
and a twinkle in his eye and love in his heart
and a pair of slippers that don’t belong
In the picture
but will be gone soon enough, and before
anyone knows they were even there
Tony: I can’t believe you’re smiling
I can’t believe you turned around
Tony: I can’t believe you winked
