Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo,
I need to hold your breasts and get the feelings of love;
Monte Carlo,
I need to brush your breasts along my hairy chest of mine;
Monte Carlo,
I want to feel your love all day long;
Because the law is not only laid down for a righteous person,
But also for lairs and for perjurers.
