I Lost My Ass in Connecticut
Ernest Samuel Llime – November 2008, I-95 NY & CT 

Spoken:
Everyone knows that Tony Bennett has left his heart in San Francisco
Almost the same thing has happened to me:
I have lost my ass in Connecticut - details to follow -
Every time I drive north on I-95 (to the casino,) I pass by this town 
named Mianus - and the poet in me goes MIANUS – URANUS 
there’s gotta be a song in that. Well there is, and this is it: 

(CAPO @ II)
E A B7 E
I step into my vehicle, I make the front of it point north,
I’m gonna hit that Indian casino, and multiply my monetary worth
I drive up that New England throughway
My pocket’s full and my hopes are high,
I’m gonna crush all opposition I’ll be the Catcher in the Rye.
Just a couple of miles past Greenwich – a sign from up above,
Looks like any other road sign and it says Mianus ½ a mile

CHORUS:
Somebody tell me
If Mianus’s in Connecticut 
and Uranus’s spinning round the sun,
Who amongst us, is having more fun?

I laugh at it and say: I don’t believe all that I see,
No matter where I’m going, my anus goes with me!
So I’ve been to the Mohegans I’ve placed many a bet,
I don’t feel very cheery, don’t wanna talk anymore ‘bout that!
My bank accounts are sobbing, my credit’s ripped to shreds,
Don’t know how I’ll raise the rent, gotta live on leftover dregs.
I drive by that frightful green omen, my head it ain’t so high

If Mianus is in Connecticut, now I know the reason why.

CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL
