Not surprisingly, the rhymes in these lines also shape the
rhythm, with a pattern of stress carrying over from phrase to
phrase (“batter to hit” with “shattered your hip” and “that’ll
be it”). Notice how the lines retain structure even when the
words themselves are removed:
Duh Da DA-DA DUH DA, Da DA-DA DUH DA
Da Duh-duh da da duh da-da, DA-DA DUH DA
