Around the World (We Are the Littles)

Lyrics

It’s almost time
For Tony’s annual goodbye
We never know if he’s coming back next Fall
We’ll all miss the whining
And how he wastes our time with stories
About golf & bocce ball

It must be hard working 2 hours every day
I guess that’s why he needs such a long break
We are all a part of TK's big family
But in truth, this break is probably something we all need

Around the world
We are the Littles
We are the ones who share our wedding dates and tootsie midges

Some people think we're faking, that we all live in DC
But there are Littles in Kabukistan and New Jersey

Soon he'll be running out of Triscuits and ice cream
And who do you think will bring sandwiches for free?

Wil- Wil-Wil- bon is not surprised, no!
That he's taking some time off
after all the NHL season is done!

We send in mail
We send in jingles
Some of us are great at writing jokes
but we’re not great singers (or rhymers apparently)
And we’re gonna tell you
who we sat next to on a plane
Or maybe what we paid for gas or cottage cheese (about a buck fifty!)

It's Tony's world
We all just listen (all 12 listeners!)
We are the ones who know there’s 50 ways to cook a chicken
He’s going on vacation
He’s off to the Browse About
What are the odds that he’ll be back? 50/50

Around the world
We are the Littles
We really hope that Tony’s coming back but he’s noncommittal…

A parody of USA for Africa, "We Are the World"

    Came here (not for the first time) after listening to yesterday's podcast, and have lost about an hour listening to my favourites. Just want to thank you all for what you do, you guys are amazing!

    Thank you to all who contribute to this completely ridiculous, but BRILLIANT community. From someone with no writing or musical abilities I enjoy this as much as you do - Thanks. I feel like I have gone over the edge here when I can hear one word from each of the vocalists and shout out to no one in particular "that's KJ! that's Joe Aro! that's Brad Weiss in Carrboro, NC - oh sH*! he moved to Williamsburg!"

    I have never sent in a jingle and never have had an email get past Nigel (though not for lack of trying), but stuff like this makes me grin from ear to ear. So happy to a little.

    every time I hear Jason yell "about a buck fifty!" it kills me.

    This one has just bumped We Didn't Start the Fire from first place for me. This one is epic. These just keep getting better and better.

    So much fun to be involved with this. Maestro Negrelli made it all happen, and Maestro Berg deserves star billing for the kernel idea. Tony's absolutely right when he points out just how much fun we all have when we get together for this stuff, and I'm every bit as happy as they think we are to be involved in it.
