'82 Happy Beeping Lyrics

My mother found another jerk
A drummer--jazz--who liked to smirk
At those who lacked his special skills:
Keeping loose time, with little fills

One morn, I found my counterpoint
Homework torn up, tacked to my door
Like Luther's 95 Theses
A note explained what this was for:

"Happy beeping," it said
"Happy beeping," it read
The creep had come a-creeping
"Happy beeping"

He clearly hated Neu! and Can,
Cluster & Eno, and Japan
(Though to be fair, he liked my books;
He took my Richard Brautigan)

"Happy beeping," it said
"Happy beeping," it read
In the night while I was sleeping
"Happy beeping"

"Happy beeping," it said
"Happy beeping," it read
In the night while I was sleeping
"Happy beeping"
