Lyrics

I know Jerry already did a version of this tune, but the Honesty = Allergies lash-up was too good to pass up

Honesty [Allergies]

If you check the pollen count
It isn't hard to find
It messes with the air you need to breathe
But if you listen to Tony
You might think he’s going blind
All his complaints cause me to sit and seethe

Allergies it’s such a common woe
Ain’t even as bad as the flu
Allergies it’s as if he never heard
With drugs and sleep you power through

Tone can use his radio show
To get us to sympathize
As he wipes his nose off on his sleeve
But he don't want the studio crew
To tell him just suck it up
All he wants is to take some sick leave

Allergies such ordinary stuff
Dominate Tone’s whole worldview
Allergies has Tony never heard
That CVS has meds for you

A parody of “Honesty” by Billy Joel

    Brilliant! As a lifelong allergy sufferer, I've been screaming "just take a pill!" for days.

    _AND_ he read my accompanying email for the first time....but that won't stop me from whining about not reading my emails, lyrically.
