The Lyrics

Cummerbund, my porte’,[1] cummerbund
Cummerbund, ain’t short, cummerbund
Cummerbund, my forte,[2] cummerbund
My porte, cummerbund

Gut it’s ringing, my cummerbund
Snugly clinging, my cummerbund
Gut it’s slinging, my cummerbund
Gorgeous cummerbund

Gotta have it, my cummerbund
Never halve it, my cummerbund!
Got a habit, my cummerbund
Adored cummerbund

Around tying my cummerbund
Satisfying, my cummerbund
I’m applying my cummerbund
Too short, cummerbund?

I’m displaying my cummerbund
It’s not fraying, my cummerbund
I’m porter-ing my cummerbund
My porte, cummerbund.

Pies I’m eating. . .fries, plumper gut
Down it’s creeping, my cummerbund
I am weeping: my cummerbund’s
On floor. . .come undone

[2] Forte is derived from French that in its “strong point” sense has no entirely satisfactory pronunciation. Usage writers have denigrated FOR-TAY because it reflects the influence of the Italian-derived forte. Their recommended pronunciation FORT, however, does not exactly reflect French either: the French would write the word le fort and would pronounce it more similar to English for. So you can take your choice, knowing that someone somewhere will dislike whichever variant you choose.

So, did you decide to make like the Hebrew tribes and wander 40 days in the wilderness, JAB? I must say, I was becoming a little concerned about your situation, not having heard a peep from you since early March

Thanks for your concern, Lennie. I had to take a parody break, which I do from time to time.

Welcome back, JohnB. Hope your sabbatical was uplifting, refreshing, and low in fat and calories.

I follow a blogger named Gerard Vanderleun, who would post religiously every day and about 6 months ago, his blog suddenly went blank for a period of two weeks. Then a friend of his posted a message on his blog that he had experienced some health issues. Yeah, health issues -- he had been in a medically induced coma for 10 days following a near fatal heart attack. And so I was concerned that a medical issue might have occurred to you as well

Well, that was a new English word for me, I could probably have used it over "summertime" in at least one of my two Chef School songs this week had i known it earlier. :-)
