The Byrds

The band underwent multiple line-up changes throughout its existence, with frontman Roger McGuinn (aka Jim McGuinn) remaining the sole consistent member, until the group disbanded in 1973.

Fat ugly fat man swam
In a red tire made of stone
A painted lady paddled next to him
With two poodles on her lap
Garbo quietly picked a flower
While the chauffeur won his check again
And barrymore took a noon day nap? ? ?
And diamond fell like rain
Cisco kid and a bald headed waitress
Trapped 'neath a bed of brass
The french cook served them chocolates
And some cold cuts on the grass
Louilla ripped her zebra pants
In the polo lounge
And errol flynn was not let in
Cause he was coming down

Up in zanadu diamonds fell like rain
Citizen kane was king poor citizen kane

Valentino suddenly appeared
In his midnight blue tuxedo
Had a falcon on his shoulder
Eating chicken from his hands
And fatty arbuckle waddled by
On way to the bath house green
Frankenstein ate the leading lady
And licked the carcass clean

Up in zanadu diamonds fell like rain
Citizen kane was king poor citizen kane
