Lyrics

***For all of the JOEL lovers like myself. This has been on my mind for a while. Maybe the best that I can do......

There's a place on the air for a cranky old man
with his multiple jobs and his medical plans
He's got no hair on his head and a cough in his throat
and he doesn't like riding on airplanes or boats
Now he's out in pursuit of a Doctorate sash
you can always be sure he'll come back for more cash
And the Littles all call him a cranky old man

Send your emails and notes to the cranky old man
just don't send him a text 'cause he won't understand
He's not a big fan of new technology
to plug in a toaster's a challenge you see
and he sits at his mic and he begs for free swag
until we get to the part they call Tony's Mailbag
and he'll always be known as a cranky old man

He believes he's passed the age
of paying to park and staying up late
Astounding that he still knows how to drive a car
He used to write some columns too
until he met that guy Raju
and life went on and he became a TV Star

Ohhhhhhhh.....

So there's always a place for a cranky old man
with his chic sweater vests and a club in his hands
he can crush all the bikers that get in his way
He can curse sonsabitches for podcast delays
Well his boasting is pure yes he does it so well
when he waits in a line he gets angry as hell
and he'll go to the grave as a cranky old man......
