lyrics

Saratoga Jim had never been to Saratoga, not even remotely. He was born in Charleston. But when Dan from Section 8 - aka the Molly Llama - named him at the Citgo, well it felt right just the same.

A name, Lord, what's in a name? A name, Lord, what's in a name?

The Host of Hosts. The Prince of Peace. The Lamb of God. The Holy Ghost.

What's in a name, Lord? What's in a name?

With fresh Parliament full flavors and the gift of nomenclature, Jimmy straightened like an arrow and he shot himself downtown. He sat resplendently in Finch's Diner's vinyl seats drinking coffee like a Senator and eating runny eggs.

What's in a name, Lord? What's in a name? What's in a name, Lord? What's in a name?

The Host of Hosts. The Prince of Peace. The Lamb of God. The Holy Ghost.

Dirt McGirt. Osiris. Old Dirty Bastard. Big Baby Jesus. What's in a name? The Holy Ghost. The Prince of Peace. The Lamb of God. Old Dirty Bastard. Big Baby Jesus. Osris.

What's in name, Lord? What's in a name? What's in a name?
