Hmm... Problem is, there's an extra letter in there that throws the 
meter off.

You can't really fix it without either leaving a letter out of Steve's 
initials, or cutting off one of the other words in the line. "I want my 
SKB", "Want my SKZB" or "I want SKZB" might work--but the last one 
changes the meaning in a way I'm not certain is entirely appropriate.

Strangely enough, the original tune is one I'm in the middle of 
recording on my home studio setup right now, so if someone did come up 
with alternate lyrics, I could probably even record a pretty decent 
version of them. Or not.
