Lyrics

Cara Cara orange
Set you back a buck or two
I won’t buy mine at Whole Foods
Although I’m not opposed to flaunting cash
I like crabs soft shelled
Those are no mere bagatelle
Cost the earth but what the hell
At my age what have I got to save for?

And I’d love some more
Of the midges you’ve sent me
Also product from La Cheeserie
And all those sandwiches for free
Littles listen in week after week
I tell them stuff I eat

(My apologies to Joe Aro and Negrelli's Irish cousin for horning in on this one).

After Don McLean's "Vincent"

    Ha! Well, the lyrics are somewhat updated for these pandemic times, so not quite so backlogged.

    But it isn't timely! No mention of "his laundry"! I was going more for the Cliff Notes of the TK show, a Kornheiser primer. We live in hope.
