Lyrics

Tony's gathered, collected, and hoarded
mementos for some rainy day
Things that once seemed so important
Now are obstacles blocking his way

And he's screaming about the huge mess that he's made
all the junk that's beleaguered his life
And though the person enduring his rants isn’t named
I'm guessing it's probably his wife

And he don't want his friends to come over
'cause his rathole is way out of hand
It's not like he's living in Queens like some putz
some putz who makes three hundred grand
who only makes three hundred grand
Tony makes so much more than that
He could hire his own garbage man

A parody of Goo Goo Dolls, “Iris"

    He implied it was a reasonable middle class wage so I figured in his mind that's at least $300K

    Thanks, Jason. I do put effort into emulating (if not impersonating) the original so I appreciate that feedback. Also, this song has so many things going against it that I'm shocked it made the show. Curious to hear the reaction.

    Very nice vocal on this - you continue to surprise me by being able to mimic such a larger number of singers. And that's not a shot after I heard your Vegas story on the prodcast - it's really impressive.

    who only makes three hundred grand - what a Mr. Tony style put down. Bubes drops three hundred grand at the Palm - as a tip for wrapping up Tony's leftovers. Well done Jerry.

    Another song ruined. From today forward will always hear rathole is way out of hand. Love it Jerry.
