<poem> | |||
Art-hounds look like nothing | |||
So Art-hounds write something | |||
And those that do are judged by those | And those that do are judged by those | ||
Who tried and found they couldn't do | Who tried and found they couldn't do | ||
Art-hounds | Art-hounds see the Greek ideal | ||
And gaze on what they'll never feel | |||
Oh, the pitiless revenge of those without friends | |||
The pitiless, the pitiless revenge | |||
Art-hounds | Art-hounds know what's around | ||
Because they've seen it somewhere written down | |||
And everything they've seen on the moving screen | And everything they've seen on the moving screen | ||
Helps them | Helps them fill up the page | ||

Art-hounds in a restaurant | Art-hounds in a restaurant | ||
They bring along their loving Aunt | They bring along their loving Aunt | ||
But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt | But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mable | ||
They stamp their feet and cry | They stamp their feet and cry | ||
Art-hounds in a restaurant | Art-hounds in a restaurant | ||
They bring along their loving Aunt | They bring along their loving Aunt | ||
But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt | But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mable | ||

Art-hounds | Art-hounds: very funny, very witty, but very lonely | ||
And below the belt is shriveled and small | And below the belt is shriveled and small | ||
It | It functions only as a word | ||
Art-hounds: very funny, very witty, but very lonely | |||
Art-hounds | |||
And below the belt is shriveled and small | And below the belt is shriveled and small | ||
It knows a thousand woes | It knows a thousand woes | ||
