A-Wop-Bop-a-Loo-Bop

If this title tells you nothing
Then I guess I can assume
That you’ve never heard those lyrics
Followed by “A-lop-bam-boom.”

Little Richard’s the composer;
“Tutti Fruitti” is the song,
One of many, like “Good Golly…”
We’ve been singing all along.

To describe him as flamboyant
Barely covers what he was
But if you’ve seen him perform, you know
He justified the buzz.

Now he’s dead at 87,
One more rock star bites the dust.
More than words, a fitting tribute
Is to watch him sing – you must!
