Immaculate, Bored, Off-Key and Vain
David Heuser
About this work:
The texts for Immaculate, Bored, Off-Key and Vain come from children's poet Jack Prelutsky's 1984 collection New Kid on the Block. There is a great deal of whimsical humor in them. There is also a great deal of whimsical humor in Timothy Jones, for whom I wrote these songs. And there is a termendous amount of whimsical humor in my daughter, Gwyneth, to whom I dedicate this work.
The four songs are:
I. Dainty Dottie Dee
