Lyrics

A musical channeling of Tony's volcanic rant on today's show about a proposal to gentrify one of DC's three public golf courses. When he screamed "leave them just the way they are," he handed over this song right then and there.

Just The Way You Are

Don’t’ go chargin’ new, higher greens fees
Have you even played these links before?
I don’t imagine you’re too familiar
But this is the only course I can afford

I can’t believe you think fees should double
Haines Point and Langston, they’re just too far
Stick to the trash cans and fix the potholes
Leave these parks just the way they are

Don’t go thinkin’ you’re a real congressman
You don’t even get a vote
This idea of yours is a real mess ma’am
Any other gems you’d like to float?

Is this some clever manipulation
That you in congress work and play hard?
You just want a course that you can walk to
This idea’s simply under par

A parody of "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel
