Lyrics

Well I'm sitting here in Annandale
and I'm trying to write a song about mail
but it's hard when all the jokes have been told
"Tony is bald"
"Tony is old"

So I'll just sing about some faxes and notes
and how he's gonna read 'em for all you folks
or I could talk about Joseph Bank's 10-for-1 suits
What could go wrong?

And I'm listening from Annandale
but this episode is 3 days stale
And the sales weasels crawled awaaaaaaaay
Hey hey hey

A parody of Billy Joel, "Allentown"

    Thanks, Rob. You may want to check out the TK Jingles Podcast "Primer" episodes for a history of how this all evolved!

    puddles of tears on this one. that second line is brilliant. until someone (probably you or aro) liberated the genre from referring to the bag it must have been brutal to find angles to approach the jingles.

    I thought this was a bit too self-referential & almost didn't send it in -- so it makes me happy to hear that it's someone's favorite!
