The adventures of GREGGERY PECCARY

Oh here comes GREGGERY

Little GRECGERY PECCARY

The nocturnal gregarious

Wild swine

A peccary

Is a little pig

With a white collar

That usually hangs around

Between Texas and Paraguay

Sometimes ranging as far

west as Catalina

Catalina Catalina Catalina

This particular peccary

Is part of that bold (bold)

New (new) breed (breeding)

That extinguishes itself

By markings which resemble a

WIDE TIE

Directly below the

White collar

If it's white enough

Everyone will know

That the tie I'm wearing

Is a symbol

Of how nimble mv mind will know

Ooh-ooh

(Swine suave )

Look out

Here he comes again

Oh here comes GREGGERY PECCARY

Yes it's cravv cravy veah

Every morning GREGGERY drives

His little red Volkswagen to the ugly

Part of town where they keep the Government Buildings

Voodn Voodn

Boy it's so hard to find a place to park around here

GREGGERY PECCARY takes the elevator

Up to the eighty-third floor of a grim

Gray evil-looking building

With a sign on the front reading:

'BIG SWIFTY ASSOCIATES TREND-MONGERS'

And what might you ask is a TREND MONGER

Well a TREND MONGER is a person

who dreams up a TREND

(Like 'The Twist' --- or 'Flower Power')

And spreads it throughout the land

Using all the frightening little skills

That Science has made available

And so it was one fateful morning

GREGGERY PECCARY made his way through the Steno Pool

Hi Mildred

Hello Gladys

WANDA

Yes from the moment they laid

eyes on him

All the girls in the BIG SWIFTY

Steno Pool

KNEW

Here was a

Nocturnal

Gregarious

Wild swine

ON HIS WAY UP

A Peccary of Destiny

Adventure

And

ROMANCE

Is there any mail for me

IN A SERIES OF COLORFUL

TIME-WASTINC TRENDS

AIR HOCKEY biff dush-h-h

LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP

LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP

YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP

LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER

WHEN THERE'S SOME LITTLE SOMETHING

TO DO

Does it matter that this waste of time

Is what makes a LIFE for you Hmmmmm

I must plummet boldly

forward

To my ULTRA-AVANT

Laminated

Simulated

Replica-mahogany desk

With the strategically-placed

Imported very hip water pipe

And the latest edition of the

WHOLE EARTH CATALOG

And rack my agile mind

For a spectacular

NEW TREND

Thereby rejuvenating our limping

economy

And providing

For bored & miserable people

everywhere

Some great new

'THING'

To identify with

WE HAVE GOT THE LITTLE ANSWERS

TO THE THINGS

THAT MIGHT` BE BOTHERING YOU

WE HAVE GOT YOUR LITTLE TOYS

(WE'RE BUSY MAKIN' 'EM )

BUSY MAKIN' 'EM

WE'RE BUSY MAKIN' 'EM

BUSY MAKIN' 'EM

JUST FOR YOU

Yoo-hoo-hoo

Very efficient Miss Snodgrass

And with that

GREGCERY turned

And strode nonchalantly

Into his dinky little office

With the desk and the catalog

And the very hip water pipe

And proceeded

With a vigor and determination

Known only to piglets

Of a similarly diminutive

proportion

To single-handedly invent

THE CALENDAR

With his eye rolled heaven-ward

and his little shiny pig-hoofs on the

desk GREGGERY ponders the

question of ETERNITY (and fractional

divisions thereof) as mysterious

ANGELIC VOICES sing to him from a

great distance providing the

necessary clues for the construction of

this thrilling new TREND

SUNDAY

Sunday

WOW

SUNDAY

SATURDAY TUESDAY THROUGH

- MONDAY'

SUNDAY

SATURDAY

And thus THE CALENDAR

In all of its colorful disguises

Was presented to

The bored & miserable people

Everywhere

GREGCERY issued a memo on it

Whereupon the entire contents

of the Steno Pool

Identified with it STRENUOUSLY

And WORSHIPPED IT as a WAY OF LIFE

And took their little Pills by it

And went back 'n forth from

work by it

And paid their rent by it

And before long they were even

having

BIRTHDAY PARTIES IN THE OFFICE

by it

Because NOW AT LAST

CRECGERY PECCARY's exciting new

invention

Had made it possible

For everyone

To find out

HOW OLD THEY WERE

What hath GOD wrought

Unfortunately

There were some people

Who simply DID NOT WISH TO

KNOW

And that's why

On his way home from the office

one night

GREGGERY was attacked

By a RAGE OF HUNCHMEN

Making his way through the

evening traffic GREGGERY notices

that the other vehicles which

crowd and bump his little red car

are all inhabited by slowly-aging

'VERY HIP YOUNG PEOPLE'

They appear to be casting

sinister glances toward him

through their glinting acid burn-

out eyeballs trying to run him

off the road or make him bump into

something giving strong evidence

of HOSTILE AGGRESSION

To elude them GREGGERY takes the

SHORT FOREST EXIT off the express-

way They zoom after him in all

manner of cars trucks

garishly-painted buses and

motorcycles

GREGGERY takes a bumpy trail

off the main SHORT FOREST ROAD

which leads him up the side

of a FAMOUS (and convenientlv

placed) MOUNTAIN and into a strange

cave on the edge of a cliff not far

from a LITTLE TWISTED TREE with

eyes on it

Meanwhile the enraged HUNCHMEN

(and HUNCH-'WOMEN) rumble

through the SHORT FOREST until

(realizing the little swine has

escaped they decide to park their

steaming vehicles in a circular

pseudo-Wagon Train formation

and have a LOVE-IN

Under the influence of a fantastic

amount of TRENDY CHEMICAL AMUSEMENT

AID they proceed to perform lewd

acts rip each other off for small

personal possessions and dance

with depraved abandon in the vicinity

of a six-foot pile of transistor radios

each one tuned to a different station)

WHAT

The HUNCHMEN finally expire

from exhaustion

And GREGGERY

Who has viewed the proceedings

From a safe distance

Breathes a sigh of relief

Phew

Only to be terrified once again

By a roar of immense laughter

HO HO HO

Which seems to be rumbling up

From the very depths of the cave

In which he has hidden his car

(Good lord What was that )

GRECGERY doesn't realize

He has concealed himself

Inside the very mouth of

BILLY THE MOUNTAIN

HO HO HO

And as you all know

Whenever BILLY laughs

Rocks and boulders hack up

And the air for miles around

Is filled with tons of dust

Forming a series of huge

BROWN CLOUDS

WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS

WHO IS MAKING THOSE CLOUDS THESE DAYS

HO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS

BETTER ASK A PHILOSTOPHER 'N SEE WHAT HE SAYS

GREGGERY stops at a gas station

And makes a mysterious phone

IS THIS THE OLD LOFT

WITH THE PAINT PEELIN' OFF IT

BY THE CHINESE POLICE

HERE THE DOGS ROLL BY

IS THIS HERE THEY KEEP

THE PHILOSTOPHERS NOW

WITH THE RUGS & THE DUST

WHERE THE BOOKS GO TO DIE

HOW MANY YEZ GOT

SAY YEZ GOT QUITE A FEW

JUST SITTIN' AROUND THERE

WITH NOTHIN' TO DO
