It's In His Kitsch


John Lloyd Young has been dabbling in the arts, as you may have read and seen in the ubiquitous Jersey Boys Blog. Or maybe you caught the notices regarding his "Food for Thought" exhibition and charity auction in Broadway World, Allee Willis' Blog, and the Los Angeles Times, all of which are linked here.

So it was only right that somebody write a song about it, right? Right.





Does he love you? I wanna know
How can you tell when he's so retro?

Is it in his art? Oh no, they're Oreos
In his warm Pop Tarts? Oh no, that's Cheerios
If you wanna know
Why he's so retro
It's in his kitsch

That's where it is - oh yeah!

Or is it on his lips? Oh no, that's mac and cheese
In his slender hips? No no, that's KFC
If you wanna know
Why he's so retro
It's in his kitsch

Oh, yeah, it's in his kitsch
That's where it is

He's in the kitchen
Where he slaves all night
Sets out your favorite comfort foods
Hopes that when his Payday comes
It puts you in the mood

How 'bout some Raisin Bran? No, listen what I say
A little Bit-O-Honey goes a long long way
If you wanna know
Why he's so retro
It's in his kitsch

Oh, yeah, it's in his kitsch
That's where it is

Wo wo wo Snickers
And a Pepsi Light
Deep down he's just a Hungry Man
Hopes to play his cards just right
So you'll melt in his hands

How 'bout some Cracker Jacks? Yeah, that's how you can tell
Some cubes of Spam from a can of Hormel
If you wanna know
Why he's so retro
It's in his kitsch

Oh yeah, it's in his kitsch
Oh yeah, it's in his kitsch
Oh yeah, it's in his kitsch
That's where it is

(And what better way to hear my cheesy vocal than accompanied by this cheesy karaoke - if you dare!)
