Lyrics

No meta-theme, no backlash, no meltdown - just a tribute to the show and the man behind the mike. Hit it.

Talk for Life [Walk of Life]

Here’s comes Tony yacking sports and local
Ryan’s phone stinks, what’d he say?
Here comes Tony, shop behind that woman
She’s got a moose can, Tone just wants to pay
He’s there with Nigel, he’s there with Wilbon
Yeah, says what he wants to say
Affirmation, neurosis
PTI at night, radio in day

He tell the one about the country club quiz show
He tell the one about Lee Smith
The man can talk, he do the talk for life
Yeah, he do the talk for life

Here comes Tony, oh, he’ll tell you a story
Turn the mike on, let him loose
Here comes Tony, with the power and the glory
He got anecdotes profuse
He burn the network, he crush the weasels
Yeah, his words can slay
Affirmation, neurosis
PTI at night, radio in day

He tell the one they call the Bea Arthur story
And then BOOM! goes the dynamite
The man can talk, he do the talk for life
Yeah, he do the talk for life

Now comes Tony and he’s reading emails
Harvest your nuts, its’ mailbag time
Here comes Tony wrapping up today’s show
It ran the gamut from dopey to sublime
He got the emails, he got the faxes
Yeah, the boy has notes
Littles have dedication and devotion
It’s time to read the funny ones for you folks

After all the nonsense and the endless talk
There’s just a jingle where the humor is rife
The man can talk, he do the talk for life
Yeah, he’ll do the talk for life
