Lyrics

That's great, it starts with an open,
Yeah, I watched the Nats last night
FP sure is in the tank
I remember what I say
Sit and watch the Caps burn
Dan Steinberg loves cheese
Chessie makes my hands bleed
Eating at the Palm with Alan Bubes
Tommy's bringing mail about
Fear of flight, drone flight
Wilbon's in Chicago for a big Northwestern game
Toasted steak and triscuit snacking
Bonnie gets it done
Raju Narasetti, Justin Bieber, Casey Janssen on a pontoon boat
Election has Cillizza baffled
Trump's stupid hat, Michael, I see rain!
Fine, then
Uh oh, time is low, too much e-mail left unread
We always do, well it's all right, do wear white
I serve my own needs, don't care what you need
Tell me with the freeway and the off-ramp make a right, right
You weasels won't be eating my bagels, cream cheese, Tootsie Roll midgies!

It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
And I feel fine

Barry's on, second hour
Strasburg is an orchid flower
Crash and burn, return, what has Barry Trotz earned?
Lock of Week, Courtney's on with Carville and Reginald
Abbe Lowell's on the phone
Smartest man in Washington
Prank the anchor, here's a fifty
Jeff Ma, ha ha
Enemies crush, crush
Uh oh, I see one deer, lots of fear, Chessie's gotta steer clear
The tournament, the tournament, talking to Phil's Mom!
Offer me Gonzaga, offer me Notre Dame
And I decline

It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
And I feel fine

5 AM, I walked Chessie
She still thinks that I'm a sheep
Steve Sands, La Cheeserie
ANDY POLLEY!
John Junior Feinstein, size 36 pants
Take the over, Wooden story one more time
You weasels won't be eating my food again
Right? Right.

It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
And I feel fine
(It's time to call this show The Rose)
