“Don’t Mess With My New Knee”
Don't mess with my New Knee
Don’t mess with my Nu Nee
It’s from a High-Up Chop Shop
Very Special Doctor said it’s just for me
Going to take it to Maurice
Going to dance it in Ville Platte
Going to walk it round the Huntlee
Because today is my Birth Day
Oh, my New Knee is so pretty
I love to call it, “My Nu Nee”
It’s smooth, sleek and strong and not
Full of rocks like my Old Knee
Let’s go fishing in Maurice
Let’s go dancing in Ville Platte
Let’s step along Esplanade
Because today is my Birthday
And you’re Okay as Company
So long as you don’t mess with my Nu Nee!
For MARYSE on her Birthday, September 2024
