Lyrics

Today Tony became agitated that his favorite guests Neil Greenburg and Jason La Canfora are frozen out of the show because they are paid to appear on other local radio shows. This must have made regulars like Wilbon and Bob Ryan happy to yak with Tony for free.


You never give me Neil Greenburg
Can only read him in the morning paper
And when the weasels try negotiations
They break down

You never give me La Canfora
You only give us more Window Nation
And Tony’s level of irritation 
Is profound

For the guests, no money spent
Can we fix that he laments
All his favorites, paid on other shows
Even Junior got the sack
He needs dough 'fore he can yak
His belches will monetized before you know
And oh, that sinking feeling, gone from the show

One two three four five six seven,
Guests are dead to us like Kevin

    I like this a lot. And I really enjoy the idea of someone jingling a whole album or side of one. (I have never heard side two of Abbey Road.... or any full Beatles album actually.)
