What's a song full of hyperbole?

The earlier radio broadcast was taken very seriously .....

Buchanan & Goodman - "The Flying Saucer"  (1 & 2)  1956

a song of hyperbole composed for Margarite Matisse, the Belovéd.

 

Perfection Thou art for I can see no fault.

Thou art Phrene to my Praxiteles,

The One who fulfills all of my ideals.

There is no way to overstate,

And no way to exaggerate,

Against all backgrounds, Thou art my gestalt.

 

I swear it is not purple puffery,

Nor cocky musical affrontery.

My throat lets loose like the bird bul-bul

To show you how I’m aching full so full

To beguile Thee in the desert summer’s dusk

As sweetly as the violet rose’s musk.
