Lyrics

Tony even managed to make Letterman's retirement about himself...got to admire his consistency!

The Letter(man)

Dave just signed offa the airwaves
Tony and Dave are both the same age
Late Show’s days are gone, Tony still drones on
It’s ‘bout Tony, it ain’t about Letter (man)

Old guy yacking on the air sure bucks the trend
Still does PTI with his very good friend
They once did Dave’s show, many years ago
Surely forgotten by the famous host Letter (man)

Tony’s won’drin' as Letterman
Says he won’t do his show no more
Surely TK would go nuts, if he couldn’t yack and shill for windows and doors
C’mon man!

Celebs have been slurping Dave for many days
From Tony they turn and run the other way
Tony fears farewell, off-air will be hell
Browse-a-bout’s looking better and better

    Nice Oracpo! Patrick is so right - you are the master weaver of tales, story-telling jingler. What a waste... ;)

    This is exactly what I was thinking when he was talking about Letterman. Another great one, John!

    I love the idea behind this one. They need to keep doing the show in the summer just to cover the tremendous backlog of jingles that deserve airtime from the last couple weeks alone.
