I admit I'm influenced by the charm of the original (which I'd never heard before), but picking good material is half the battle, right?
I love the rhymes and the jaunty language, especially "darkish/larkish" and "hoosegow." The translation finds its voice and stays within in it.

Lots of cleverness here. Some of the best parts are the freest, like "look across the freak show rail." Sometimes the freedom does not hit its target, e.g. the over-translation "bitchin' wheels" for "belle voiture." I like "consumer crap," but "up to the gills" then kind of overloads the line with idiom. Also, "flip side" doesn't mean the same thing as "opposite." All in all, though, I like the tone and the inventiveness.
