Lyrics

It's about time Francis Albert weighed in on this podcast crap..... [And I am skewing so old I am skewing dead]

"The Tender Trap"

Your listenership is on the rise
You say let’s do a podcast guys
You think what could go wrong
Ratings are strong, boy, then snap!

It’s unwise, your franchise just fell for the podcast trap

You’re thinking this will be a breeze
Ever heard of music license fees?
It’s looking dumb not smart, you give your own forehead a slap

Oh jeez, those fees, who’s fronting all that cash, you sap?

Can’t sleep at night, work and home life intermingle
Regrets you recite, you’re so anxious you’ll get shingles

The radio was really nice
But you just had to roll the dice
Big media hot shot, who’s buying ads so you can yap?

You're goose is cooked, who’s idea was this podcast crap?
