<br />
In a cavern, in a canyon,<br />

A song with no recognizable merit whatsoever, and imagine what might have happened if, for example, Cole Porter had tried writing this song. The first verse might have come out like this: <br />
<br />
In a cavern, in a canyon,<br />
Excava-ha-ha-hating for a mine,<br />
Far away from the boom-boom-boom of the city<br />
She was so pretty, what a pity, Clementine.<br />
<br />
Oh Clementine, can`t you tell from the howls of me<br />
This love of mine calls to you from the bowels of me.<br />
Are you discerning the returning<br />
Of this churning, burning, yearning for you-oo-oo... ah-ah... <br />
Well, supposing at this point that Mozart (or one of that crowd) had tried writing a verse, the next one might have come out as a baritone aria from an Italian opera, somewhat along these lines: <br />

I should like to consider the folk song, and expand briefly on a theory I have held for some time, to the effect that the reason most folk songs are so atrocious is that they were written by the people. If professional songwriters had written them instead, things might have turned out considerably differently. For example, consider the old favorite, with which, I`m sure, you`re all familiar, `;Clementine`;, you know:

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excava-ha-ha-hating for a mine,
Far away from the boom-boom-boom of the city
She was so pretty, what a pity, Clementine.

Oh Clementine, can`t you tell from the howls of me
This love of mine calls to you from the bowels of me.
Are you discerning the returning
Of this churning, burning, yearning for you-oo-oo... ah-ah...
