Lyrics

I wrote the lyrics and Joe made them sing... here was my mock e-mail intro that confused Nigel but was intended for fun... lyrics follow below fake intro e-mail

Joe Aro created the music and sang harmony with JerryNegrelli. Carroll wrote the lyrics and played cowbell. KJ played ukulele and Brad sang back-up always pining for the limelight. That is how "The Littles" started in September of 2013 and by December 2013 after all the KIND Bars, Johnnie Walker Blue, bagels and more windows than any house needs... this super-group imploded. But their song "Welcome to the TK Mailbag" endures. As Carroll commented on the song in the long awaited documentary that is to air next week "The TK mailbag itself could be taken as a metaphor not only for the myth-making of getting a live read, but for the myth-making that is a TK Sticker. Because it is a fine line between a TK sticker and Courtney swag...or so I am told by the woman to whom I am related by marriage."...

On a faraway ort cloud, jingles all in my head
Sweet sounds of the podcast, so many emails unread
Up ahead in the distance I saw a man wearing white
His head was bald and his hue was burnt
I was certain he use to write

Carville called on his cell phone, his connection was sh$%
I was thinking to myself this could be Shennans’s fault or maybe that Brit
Reginald opened his I-Pad and he showed me the way
Jerry’s voice was on the radio, I thought I heard him say

Welcome to the TK Mailbag
Information for life
(Information for life)
I got an angry wife
Plenty of room at the TK Mailbag
Eleven fifty-one
(Eleven fifty-one)
You will hear some fun

Their minds are definitely listless; weasels, got no sense of time
He’s got a lot of petty, petty complaints, with his partner in crime
How they dance on the boob tube, Wilbon never surprised
Except for that one time, in that Lindsey Vonn disguise

So I email’d Nigel , “Please play my theme song”
He said, “Jerry hasn’t approved it yet and yours is too long”
And still those weasels are mocking from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to cause the delay

Welcome to the TK Mailbag
Information for life
(Information for life)
I got an angry wife
They’re living it up at the TK Mailbag
Bonnie gets it done
(Bonnie gets it done)
Courtney has the fun

Kinds bars in a swag box, Reiger on the sauce
And she said, “Driving over the Bay Bridge, just make the sign of the cross.”
And on the little island, they gathered for the ponies
I stabbed them with a cocktail fork, just like Mr Tony

Last thing I remember, I was driving from PTI
I had to find the time before I wasted my life on this lie
“Relax” said Marc Sterne “We will play your birthday wish today”
The Sheehan’s shovel anytime they like but the colleagues never sway.

    Carroll, your jingles continue to grow in scope and length. I expect Alice's Restaurant or a Meatloaf tune next...
