John gifted me with fabled tales
of you before we were a we
How you cooled his jets keeping him outta jail
How you copied Dustin Hoffman to a tee
bought the Graduate preppy whale
shirts and 5 speed Alfa Romeo built for he and she.

The time the gang visited you in Bama
snuck a girl in against your sleeping back
you bumped her out, having nonna
their drunken shenanigans in your sack
holding fast engagement vows to mama
 not yielding to seduction and revelry tracks
Loyalty  and devotion scored 
for me and best bud John.
