Lyrics

***A parody of a song that I know by Jimmie Rodgers, although there are other versions out there. My dad used to play this on the 8 Track player in our house, as part of one of his 8 TRACK MIX TAPES when I was like 7 or 8. Remember it fondly. So, of course it had to turn into a jingle about an old bald orange man........


Well when I was a young man
way younger than this
I got to thinking it over
how much I have missed
So I bought me a toaster and I plugged it in
and then, oh well you know I plugged it in again and now
I'm toasting my steaks all of the time
I'm toasting mmm mmm steaks while drinking some wine
(Drinking Red Wine)

Well I once held a job at the Washington Post
doing sports and style columns I was quick with a boast
as the time went by well my columns were few and then
whoops oh lordy i got canned by Raju but now
I'm blowin' up your tv on ESPN
Yes I'm, on every weeknight on ESPN

Well now that I'm old and I'm ready to go
I’d like to help the out-of-towners who just wanna hear the show
It’s been 4 years but now I’m happy to say
See ya’ later sonsabitches that’s the end of the delay
Because now you can hear me the very same day
You can download the podcast the very same day

Nigel’s got some mail he’s got your faxes and notes
And I’m gonna read a couple for all of you folks
Now let me tell ya if you’re on your bike tonight
Well, Oh lordy don’t forget to wear white because
That’s what I say at the end of my show
And now, this jingle’s over I gotta go.....(I GOTTA GO)
