Lyrics

Well he won’t take calls cuz he’s not your friend
And there’s piles of email he won’t read
Just bloviating from a studio where they
Bring sandwiches for free

He’ll have a snack, maybe Triscuits or ice cream
At the sink with his Calvert Woodley wine
We’re full-grown adults who keep tabs on this stuff
. . . What a waste of time

I want to hear it babe
But what I’m fearing babe
When he wanders home after Labor Day
Will he remember my name??

Now the radio’s on, but it’s Sports Chix at noon
Cuz he’s not coming back at the end of June
We all gave him our songs, and we sent them for free
It was more than a show!
I don’t know what that means
Can you explain it to me, babe?

This one debuted as a Trio at the conclusion of the "Battle of the Neil Diamonds" in Springfield. Thanks to judofuse and Jerry for the encouragement, though this one's not their fault.

After Neil Diamond's "If You Know What I Mean"

    This is excellent, and thanks for including me on this one live. I don't think anyone won that battle, but somehow Neil Diamond probably still lost.

    it also could be my subconscious frustration with having picked Chubby Hubby. These fudge-covered pretzels or whatever they are just aren't really getting it done for me. probably one of those two things.

    I attribute that to your deep deprivation.
