Lyrics

I always wear white, like Tony said
but when I see Michael Phelps I only see red
He should still follow the golden rule
even if he lives in a pool
Hmmm-mmmm

A bottle of scotch, platinum or blue
is what Tony'd like if you send tribute
And he gets everything he wants
like free meals at restaurants

Things are OK with Polley these days
got a new job at a new station
got a new show, one of his own
and he's doin' fine
Oh, I lost track long ago
He lost weight
I did not know
he could look so great after my weight doctor
Do you remember those days doing news on Tony's show?
or how he'd chat with Czabe to entertain you on your ride home
He puts aside 200 bucks to spend on his new clothes
I click the mic, for a better price, every time I buy flowers for my wife
Hoooo

Tony & Wilbon started a show in October of 2001
Verbal abusing, genius producing, and the Emmys they won
Nobody was any better
and Tony wore all those awful sweaters
ESPN knew that the ratings would be very high
Oh, 'cause all the Littles love to watch PTI

Tony Reali started checking facts in the Fall of 2001
Bonnie Berko puts in the work, oh, and she gets it done!
I'm way too cheap to have cable
but I'd watch the show if I were able
or at least I promise I'd try
Oh, and all the Littles love to watch PTI
