Lyrics to Come a Rain by Kevin Welch:
Jesus was a pagan, Woody was a punk
Gandhi was a soldier, Hendrix was a monk
Leonardo was an alien, Plato was a scream
Vincent was a flower child, Elvis was a dream
Kurosawa was a samurai, Achilles was a gimp
Django was a miracle, Rasputin was a pimp
Piaf was a siren, Callas was the sea
Martin was a king on earth
in all his majesty
Come a rain, come a rain now
Confucius was a joker, Kafka was a spook
Rumi was a homey, Bukowski was a duke
Fellini was a scientist, Dante was a thug
Buddha was a cowboy, Amelia was a stud
Einstein was a psychic, Stalin was a hick
Marilyn was Marilyn, Picasso was a trip
Marley was a preacher, Columbus was a dope
Houdini was a rascal, Hank Williams was a ghost
Come a rain, come a rain now

I am not happy with Dante being suggested as a thug, but will chalk it up to poetic license.
Too bad all that women get to be are singers, an actress, & an aviator.
I haven't even heard the music but this is singing in my head. I'll be content on the on the women, maybe it's hard to rhyme something with Curie, Buck, Carson and Mead, let alone Arbus.
