Lyrics

An only child from Binghamton, an english major too
He used to write some columnettes until a chat with old Raju
He's a man of many fears, so scared he's gonna die
he's terrified of the Bay Bridge, what's this thing they call WI-FI?

He goes out for the evening, but he never stays out late
He tried to watch a whole film once, but his bedtime wouldn't wait
He shops the Refugee Safeway, he's never been to a Whole Foods
He hates to wait in checkout lines because those moosecans sure are rude!

The Reader Of The Mail is old, and his head is orange and bald
He'd like to get free stuff from you, and he loves his bocce balls
I try to make Tony's Mailbag, but everytime I fail....
so here's another jingle parody, about The Reader Of The Mail

By Joe Aro
Parody of the late, great Dan Fogelberg's "LEADER OF THE BAND"

    Great as always, and I love the story-telling angle mirroring the idea of the original song. Fogelberg is trending.

    With God as my witness I wrote these lyrics last night with intent to record today: An only child alone and wild And Michael is his son He sits and watches people work Until all the chores are done He left his home with friends he’d known Out to Rehoboth bay And he got a call From Curt at home: “need a new grill today” An orange man with money Needing a place to seer He tried to go to Home Depot But they don’t do that here He went out to the parking lot List’ning to a solar shrew Then Dan came up and said to him: “Let me see what I can do” The leader of the store is here And rented a truck in time But the Webber’s seven hundred bucks And connects to a gas line How bout the burner on the side? What would he use it for? He needs a gas grill desperately From the leader of the store Toche Mr. Aro, Toche.
