Lyrics

Written by Brad Weiss, as sung by Babs Ohnstad and Mervis Diamond

There's no bacon sandwich
You won't buy a painting

Don't show me up each day on the show
When we get to the songs
On Old Guy Radio

I remember when

You wore that coat in Norway
Wrote a funny ballad
Now there's no drunken bandwagon rides

I'm gonna name that tune
And you can eat it when I'm right!

Well I don't have a chance
When you're hogging the mic

You don't call me Nancy anymore . . .

    Well, I want to take a moment to apologize for this tune. I'm listing it here as "aired", but, in fact, the tune that aired during the little jinglfest on 4/8 was the DEMO that I recorded for Kj to sing - and then foolishly sent to Nigel before I sent him (almost immediately) this corrected, final cut. I am a dope, and my apologies, again, to Kjerstin for her wonderful contribution here, and for having her thunder stolen on air. This is one time when the comments and podcast on tkjingles have meant much more to me than the airing of my crappy version of this one. Thanks for reading!

    Allow me to point out that between writing thee lyrics, and actually hearing this voice emanating from my own head, I feel your pain.

    Been running through my head since hearing it on the Firehose. Great work, but please get out of my head.

    So well done, Another example of a song I despise being vastly improved with some TK lyrics and some great vocals.
