Ok, my teacher said for our final presentation we have to perform a mix of reading of poetry, prose, etc..... We can pick two forms of medium. Song lyrics are one option. I was thinking of picking a Jimmy song, any suggestions for a song that could be read like poetry?

I would go with ones that have no refrains, just verses. There's a name for that, but at 1:30 in the am I can't think of it.
How about "A Pirate Looks at Forty" or "Son of a Son of a Sailor"?

WEST NASHVILLE GRAND BALLROOM GOWN!!!

The teacher may object to some of the lyrics in West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown but it does make a good tale. How about Door Number Three, most of the lines rhyme.

My suggestions would be either Cowboy in the Jungle, False Echoes, or Quiety Making Noise.

Why, God's Own Drunk of course

Oooh, what a GREAT IDEA!!
I like 2fla's suggestion for "Cowboy in the Jungle"
and:

Take Another Road
He Went to Paris
Distantly in Love
Havana Daydreamin'
African Friend

I'm partial to He went to Paris

or maybe Jolly Mon???

WNPS!!!!

Oysters and Pearls

Any of his Ballads would work, When The Coast is Clear. On The Coast of Marseille, Island, or Sending the Old Man Home

I like "Captain and the Kid"

Great suggestions. I did God's Own Drunk as a performance actually at the very beginning of the semester for this class. So I can't do it again. That was a lot of fun though. I have thought about all of those you've mentioned. I'm still trying to decide.
