The Lyrics
I thought about the late actor Bob Denver the other night and ended up writing a parody about "Gilligan's Island". Well, he was funny on that playing silly Gilliganbut he was really, really good in his earlier sitcom role as "Maynard G. Krebs", Dobie's "Beatnik" friend on "(The Many Loves of) Dobie Gillis" TV show.
Denver
he portrayed a beatnik
Denver
did it well, a neat trick
Clever
acting was done on this show
"Maynard Krebs"
he was cool
he was sure
not a fool
played his bongo's
and did not work at all
and chattered
and 'grooved' to jazz at home
Bob Denver gave the part
real 'verve' and stole the show!

DKTOS, Paul, but good read.

snaps fingers...cool daddy-o....like, fives...nice work........WORK !?!?!?!
Definitely not squaresville! DKTOS and I've never seen Dobie Gillis....but I'd love to see Denver playing a beatnik! I can only imagine! 555
Thanks, all...Chuck, it would be worthwhile...I don't know if the show is shown in syndication anywhere now...it ought to be, it was really pretty good, although it might seem dated today....carol...they only gave me "1's" in pacing (although the pacing was perfect to my POV...they were generous enough to give me "2's" in the other categories...maybe they didnt/don't like 'beatniks'...or Bob Denver....??? what could anybody have against Bob Denver? Hmm...maybe they just don't like me....hmmm...it's possible...lol
DKTOS and never watched Dobie, but this reads well.
thanks, Larry...I guess "Dobie Gillis" was pretty much before the times of most folks on the site....which I more or less figured....
