Lyrics

The only thing better than jingling a craptastic '70s one-hit-wonder "dramatic" story-song, is doing it FULL LENGTH!

Billy, Don't Be A Hero/Tony, Don't Leave Us Hanging

From Hewlett High to PTI - famous
A lot of newsprint in between
We tune in weekday morns to hear Tony
Talk with his pals and vent his spleen
But when the summer comes upon us
He’d rather play golf every day
The Littles find this all very trying
And through emails implore TK

Tony, don’t leave us hanging
Tell us the tales of your life
Tony, don’t leave us hanging
Hiatus cuts like a knife
We know the summer gets slow
You hide out in your seaside chateau
Tone, don’t head for the shore
Like some retiree

The Littles knew July was approaching
TK would soon shut the show down
The Littles cried "You’ve got to stay on, Tone!
Explain once more this Triple Crown
Who’s gonna rant and rave and shout out?
Who’s gonna crush the Nats bullpen?
Where will we tune for classic lit breakdowns?
Who’ll tell us bout “Of Mice and Men”?

C’mon man!

Tony, don’t leave us hanging
Tell us the tales of your life
Tony, don’t leave us hanging
Hiatus cuts like a knife
And as for your Thursday show
Jingles make for great radio
Tone, don’t go to Rehoboth
It’s so bourgeoisie

I heard that thisshowstinks got an email
It had been sent one July day
The email said Hey, Tone, won’t you help me?
I’ve got to write this lame essay
I heard Nige’ threw that email away.

Based on the Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods #1 hit - don't get me started on the UK/Paper Lace version - wankers!
