Michaelangelo
Was giving a one man show
He had statues with such feeling
He had his Cistine Chapel ceiling
People came from Cocamo
Just to see this one man show
They say we can't believe what we've seen
Tell us Michael what does all this mean?
And he says that's what I do when I can't get no pussy
That's what I do when I can't get no pussy
That's what I do when I can't get no pussy
And I don't get no pussy at all
William Shakespeare was working at home
Finishing up a brand new poem
And a book of sonnets he wanted to write
And three plays he had to finish that night
He said I'll call this one Hamlet and this one Macbeth
And this one Othello and I'll take a short breath
That's when Francis Bacon appears
And says tell me man where d'ya get all them ideas?
And he says that's what I do when I can't get no pussy
That's what I do when I can't get no pussy
That's what I do when I can't get no pussy
And I don't get no pussy at all
You all remember Atilla The Hun
Don't think he thought that war was fun
But whether the battle was lost or won
He'd just look out at the bodies that were rotting in the sun
And say It's just what I do when I can't get no pussy
It's just what I do when I can't get no pussy
It's just what I do when I can't get no pussy
And I don't get no pussy at all
[Thank-you
For what?
For nothin'
hahahaha]

Michaelangelo
Dr. Hook's 1976 track "Michaelangelo" stands as a defining moment in the band's evolution from novelty acts to serious rock performers. Released on the album *Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show Revisited*, the song showcases the group's newfound ability to blend pop sensibilities with complex, soulful arrangements. Featuring the band's signature harmonies and a driving rhythm section, the recording captures the late 1970s transition in their discography, moving away from their earlier comedic persona toward a more mature sound. The song remains a staple of their catalog, illustrating the band's capacity for emotional depth and musical sophistication during their peak years.
