Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park
Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark

Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen
They all fit together In the same machine

Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device

Oh a whirling dervish And a dancing bear
Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire

Or a teenage rocker Or the girls in France
Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance

Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device

I wanted all things to make sense
So we'd be happy instead of tense

Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park
Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark

Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen
They all fit together In the same machine

Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
So many people in the same device

Absolutely love this song.  A forgotten classic.  Excellent.

Ambrosia was waaaaaaay before Styx and was much better than you deserve.

An awesome song play it loud - in fact the whole first Ambrosia album is great. Alan Parsons was the producer. One of my favorite albums of 1975

i'm not sure if ever in the history of RP a track's ever been pulled out of the rotation right in the middle of the song. if not, this would be a good candidate for first ever.

Both in music and people, this song (and Vonnegut's novel) tell us what's so great about RP: Nice, nice, very nice Such very different people In the same device
