Lyrics

I get the feeling Mr. Tony is ultimately not gonna get up the nerve talk about James. He's just gonna talk about it constantly on the radio until the roast passes and then he's gonna talk about how he SHOULD have spoken. Cause he remembers what he almost says.

Climbing up to roast Carville
Mr. Tony’s all affright
Great comedians on the bill 
Of bombing Satchmo’s terrified
He’ll be something to observe
Ferrara’s jokes through Tony’s voice
Much too nervous to eat hors d'oeuvres
Has to go on has no choice
Why must you spout disinclination
Matt Wiener soon’ll be threatening your castration
Your heart going boom boom boom
"Tone," he said "Make your speech,
And then you can go home."
Yeah back home
Or over to the Palm
Michael meet him at the Palm
