And go-cart Mozart
Was checkin' out the weather chart
See if it was safe outside
And little early-pearly
Came by in his curly-wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride
The CALLY-OPE crashed to the ground

The rest of the free world...

Cally-ope is occasionally used only for the instrumental...

Proper noun should be the Greek name, hence cull I O pee...but nola gonna nola

Musical instrument? 1

Street in NOLA? 2

Want to talk about Burgundy also?

The first is an instrument. The second is a Greek muse. Calliope and surrounding streets were named after Greek muses. I’ll let you figure out which is correct.
