Joe Rosochacki - I Saw Her Again Or Californi(cation) Dreamin’ Or Go Where You Wanna Go Or Dream a Little Dream of Me

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

But what can I do, I’m lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me

Written by John Phillips recorded by The Mammas and the Pappas

John Phillips was soothsayer.
He preyed upon his daughter, I will explain later.
John Phillips is dead and gone now,
But he remains with us today somehow,
Through the music he produced and memories of his daughter Mackenzie.
And blasted on TMZ.
This incestual relationship is about to make me puke.
For ten years this reversal of Oedipus Rex played out.
The TODAY Show had her on with her new book.
She attributed it all to doing drugs and alcohol,
For Ten Years?
This 'One Day at a Time' star had a secret to expose.
Again, the tabloids put in what they are not told.
The 'Free Love” of the sixties wasn’t meant to be,
A father and his daughter sleeping together almost endlessly.
What kind of 'perv' was John?
What kind of a dad, with his daughter, to lay upon?
John left us in 2001,
What kind of afterlife did he bring to himself? Surely, not heaven.
And as far as Mackenzie is concerned she has to live her life,
“One Day (or book) at a Time”
It is not a play or a joke, however, it was a decade long crime.
