Lyrics

A John Fitzpatrick Production, featuring the vocal stylings of John Fitzpatrick, Improvements made without the express written consent of John Fitzpatrick are strictly prohibited. Not available in stores.

Tony started readin’ from his bag of mail
The regulars were there and they began to flail
They started throwing punchlines like a boxing ring
You should've heard those knocked out goobers sing

They’d mock, everybody got mocked
Everybody starts at ten o’clock
To listen to the Mailbox Mock

Kjerstin is a songbird, got such dulcet tones
Robert Berg can’t help it cause his mind is blown
That Jerry boy from Annandale went 1-2-3
The whole final segment was a mockery

Let's mock, everybody, let's mock
Everybody waits at ten o’clock
To listen to the Mailbox Mock

Tony said to Chappell back in ‘93
"That was the cutest jingle I ever did see
"I surely was delighted with your parody
"Come on and do the Mailbox Mock with me"

Let's mock, everybody, let's mock
Everybody waits at ten o’clock
To listen' to the Mailbox Mock

[middle eight]

Brad Weiss was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner writin' all alone
Then Gary said Professor we don’t really care
If you can't write a jingle you won’t get on air

Let's mock, everybody, let's mock
Everybody waits at ten o’clock
To listen to the Mailbox Mock

Nigel said to Tony, "For Heaven's sake
This segment’s over, now's our chance to take a break."
Tony turned to Nigel and he said, "Nix nix!
"I wanna stick around I wanna gut my Knicks"

Let's mock, everybody, let's mock
Everybody waits at ten o’clock?
To listen to the Mailbox Mock
To listen to the Mailbox Mock
To listen to the Mailbox Mock
To listen to the Mailbox Mock

    Sounds like Jerry needs tips from Joe's mom on how to post.

    Any ELVIS jingles are faves of mine. Having JF singing is just the icing. Great lyrics Mr. Aldridge!!

    I'm going to assume "Negrelli-in-his-prime pace" is a reference to quantity, not quality. ;)

    we DO need more Elvis around here! TCA comes to the site 2 weeks ago and is jingling right out of the gate at a Negrelli-in-his-prime pace. it's like if Ray Rice signed somewhere and started running for 100 yards every week. actually it would be like if Brian Mitchell was doing it.

    Thanks, Jer. Might be time to resurrect my old playlist "Jinglers jingling jingles about jingling jingles"

    Great duo boys. T chap, I do find that from time to time the question marks are added depending on which browser or word processing program you are using. To remove, go to My Stuff (drop down menu on the upper left at TK Jingles and choose My Jingles. Here for each song you can select Edit (all the way to the right on each song) and rid yourself of the question marks, add in additional text or ever put a revised version of your jingle up if you make a change. Try it, you'll like it.

    there are lots of mysterious question marks in the lyrics, maybe the machine questions the output. There was a whole lot of stuff I put in the registry that does not appear, mostly that this is a collaboration with John Fitzpatrick, I had to tell you he was doing the singing because otherwise you would have thought it proof that Elvis was still alive.
