Happy Birthday, Michael Paz!  This is for you, with love:
--------

YOU

You some rhythm nation head of state
With your Parker Fly and VG-8
Ponytail and Zen master trances
Living large and taking chances?

You're all that in Big Easy town
Mr. Soulful Getting-Down
And this traveler's hero through blue fog
And Tipitina's, Howling Wolf, Ugly Dog...

All the players want to be like you
All your friends want you to cry to
While you're singing 
You don't know what it's like 
Baby you don't know what it's like
To be me.

'''''''''''''''''
I won't say when 
But I'll get you back
For your wolf-in-sheep's clothing 
Blindside "humor" attack
And it won't be long 
'Cause brother you're getting old
You like hot grits for breakfast? 
My revenge is served cold!

That grand piano in your living room
Warm it up, I'll be there soon
Friends means never having to sing alone
You gifted wise-ass baritone.

-Julius
