Lyrics

This might be my favorite song of all time... so naturally I decided to butcher it up. It's way too long, so a website special.

Please send me some salmon, Or a Smith Island cake
Your Emails and faxes are all fine... But tell me, do you bake?
I'll give you valuable advice...information for life... that's a good exchange
And I might even say your name... or call you a lady by mistake

Did I mention that Virginia is oval shaped? Don't be obtuse... it's not scalene, not scalene
And that goats and reindeer are pretty much the same?

Real wealth is never having
To spend your own cash, so send me everything
Except tuna in a bag, I'm not eating that
No fish lasts til 2018
All the steaks you can, fit into a bag, along with some ice cream
Cause the secret is, it tastes better when it's free!

I know all of this stuff I can easily buy
I'm much richer than all of you
But why should, why should, I buy it
Why? Why!? When it's sent to me for free

Parody of Black by Pearl Jam.

    Thanks everyone. I still cannot fathom why Tony thinks VA is oval shaped... this hasn't been brought up nearly enough. And hopefully Jason's Wife is in contact for salmon and a couple reindeer/goats. :)

    This just sounds really good. And for some reason, "scalene" keeps making me laugh.

    I seem to recognize this tune . . . Your performance is amazing, but then the lyrics turn out to be even better! (it's not scalene!!). Cool.

    Great song. My brother was pissed because he lives in DC and was listening to the show and heard TK got salmon from me and he didn't. Whoops. I told my brother but what have you done for me lately. I think you and Jason's wife deserve a box of salmon for this one. I'll even throw in some reindeer.

    Wow! Ranks right up there for me with KJ's "Zombie" for early 90's college rock (for me) that TK has never heard in his life! Stellar!

    Perhaps it's because this is also one of my favorites of all time that I love this so much- nah, you're just really good. Fantastic lyrics and vocals. Are you playing too? Probably. Love it!
