   i don't notice that you're working on anything, dockery. you can do the dockery   
   baby dance, how long would that take? not very.

   really? what projects did Warhol "farm out?"

   um, i think you're lying again, dockery. with you the attention is everything.   
      
   and what's the problem? you've already shown you don't care what you look like   
   on stage, so why would you have a problem doing the baby dockery dance on stage   
   and video tape the event?   
      
   it's easy, you pull down your pants, you wear a baby bonnet, you try singing   
   with your thumb in your mouth, and there you go: baby dockery dance.   
      
   why are you so afraid to try this?   
      
      
   >A good idea for a Cook parody, but otherwise, I don't have the time to

   what are you doing, dockery? how much time does it take to stagger around on a   
   stage in a dive somewhere?   
      
   come on, do it! the baby dockery dance! what are you afraid of?
