FERRIS? JUDY?

about

I was likely hallucinating as this happened, but at the time? It was totally real. Ferris Mueller cutting the rug at The Brendan Behan. Lyrics explain the rest.

lyrics

FERRIS? JUDY?

this is a song about
my friend
Ferris
Ferris Mueller
he was shakin it
at the bar
he was dancin
like a big girl
he was
on a cloud of his own making
and his rhythm
his rhythm was PERFECT
oh yeah
small moves
eyes closed
lost in the music
loaded with soul
lost in the music
loaded with soul

but there was something
about him
about, about what he wore
that night
a cheese head shirt
and shiny gray tights
im telling you
i ain’t lyin
he looked like Judy
that’s right, Judy Garland
skinny legs
bulk on top
hot in the head
skinny legs
bulk on top
a YMCA
a YMCA
cop

he was beautiful
he was hysterical
he was magnificent
he looked like Judy
he looked like Liza
he looked like all o’ them
magnificent girls

oh yeah

c’mon, c’mon
c’mon, c’mon
give it t me, baby

he looked like Judy
he looked like Liza
