Casanova escaped from the jukebox live
his first stop was J. Edgar Hoover’s  hive
where a carriage was waiting with luggage for two.
The radio played Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.

Together they fled southwest to Dodge City
but Sheriff Matt Dillon had no pity
for a pair of misplaced lovers on the run
so they headed for Hollywood’s eternal sun.

Tab Hunter hid them at the bottom of his pool
John Wilkes Booth was already there, teaching school,
Edgar and Giacomo tried to blend in
but a Marx Brother made jokes about their sin,

so they stole a Studebaker and made for Big Sur
but Kerouac was already perched there and with a slur
cast them off an emerald cliff and so they grew wings
And flew north to Alaska where the Eskimo sings.

Perry Como was on their trail, a turtlenecked thug
he surrounded their igloo with transistor bugs
to broadcast the sounds of their imminent capture
but it was too late to lull the sounds of their rapture.

So there the chase ended, the deed had been done
broken-hearted America let go of its gun
Edgar and Giacomo lived happily ever after
on dried fish and fresh seal meat and devious laughter.
