Lyrics

So I went back-back-back to my first weekend Blitz O' Jingles in Jan 2014 and punched this one up for my first post to LittleSongs.net. It's a different show these days, but it's great to skewer TK and share this tune with the crew that has stuck around for all the jingling....er parody singing...Anyway, enjoy!

Alison (2017)

So you’ve been using the same dry cleaner now for so long, Tone
I hear they’re putting a glorified bookstand
Where your clothes get cleaned and pressed
Boo hoo, your cleaners won’t be right in line
With the bank and the CVS
We’re not surprised to hear just how temperamental
You get as your aging life declines
‘Cause anybody who has heard your podcast
Knows it’s about an old man who whines
Kornheiser, I know that change is killing you
Oh, Kornheiser, soon age will, too

Well I hear you got a restaurant now
Were you looking for a hole to dump in all the dough you make?
You used to talk about the whole wide world
Now it just the Mac ‘n Cheese they make
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things you say
I did not even have to change that lyric
'cause that one comes true every day
Kornheiser, I know these songs are thrilling you
Oh, Kornheiser, this Little Song is through
