[00:06.98]Virginia Woolf
[00:08.82]She leaves me cold
[00:10.58]I recognize the genius
[00:12.40]But I'm twice as bold
[00:14.01]I have more to say
[00:16.29]Than Hemingway
[00:17.70]Lord knows, compared to Faulker
[00:19.48]I say it in a better way
[00:25.61]Graham Greene
[00:26.98]He loves me
[00:28.59]He loves my poetic sensibility
[00:32.29]Katherine Anne Porter
[00:33.82]Might be the best one now
[00:35.72]But in about a year
[00:37.15]I'm gonna show her how
[00:43.95]Yes I will
[00:49.91]I said to Reeves the other day
[00:51.90]Proust really is the man
[00:53.59]Who comforts me in a way
[00:55.41]No other writer can
[00:56.76]The timeless quality of the work
[00:59.01]The length! Is very long
[01:01.05]Believe me Marcel Proust goes on
[01:03.47]And on and on and on for 7 volumes
[01:08.15]Oh, Harper. Harper.
[01:09.68]Lee. Lee. Lee.
[01:11.22]She only wrote that one book
[01:13.09]I've written more than three
[01:14.96]Darling Tennessee Williams
[01:16.75]It's anybody's guess
[01:18.09]Why "Streetcar" made millions
[01:20.18]And "Wedding" so much less
[01:27.69]I will forever be pondering that one
[01:32.65]Harper. Harper. Harper.
[01:36.15]Lee. Lee. Lee.
[01:39.61]Why do they always compare her to me
[01:46.21]To me
[01:54.15]Won't even talk about
[01:55.47]Eudora Welty
[01:57.01]As for F. Scott, my Sad Cafe
[01:59.00]Is greater than his Gatsby
[02:00.54]I'm just telling you
[02:02.21]What someone told me they read
[02:04.16]'Cause I never look at my reviews
[02:06.11]They might give me the big head
[02:11.27]Now Truman Capote was hypnotized
[02:14.19]Mesmerized. Cause he realized
[02:15.94]That I knew that he knew
[02:17.30]That he had plagiarized
[02:18.62]My cadences!
[02:20.07]Imagine his surprise,
[02:21.92]You'll see it in his eyes
[02:23.36]When I win that Nobel Prize
[02:29.84]Thank you. Thank you so very much
[02:36.32]Harper. Harper. Harper.
[02:39.97]Lee. Lee. Lee.
[02:43.42]Why do they always compare her to me
[02:50.02]To me
[02:57.54]She always seems to be receiving
[02:59.51]More than she deserves
[03:00.81]Honey, she's poaching on
[03:02.72]My literary preserves
[03:04.39]Yes from Harper Lee
[03:06.08]We have seen and we've heard
[03:08.10]And I'd like to kill more than just
[03:10.24]That mocking bird
[03:17.70]You know, sometimes I really would
[03:23.16]So you just wait until next year
