Lyrics

This is the rare-edition appendix-free version. . .

An only born child so he can’t stand to wait
And feels he’s entitled to take what he takes
You ask “How can this be?”, but he asks ‘Where’s the cake?”

A one percent schnorer is hard to believe
A one percent schnorer is hard to believe

From gas grills to Caddies it’s straight cash homey
And hopes to some day buy a doctoral degree
Bet you’ve probably heard he gets sandwiches free

A one percent schnorer if there’s such a thing
A one percent schnorer if there’s such a thing

Quite content at the Post til ESPN hired
Priced himself out of the market, and says he was fired!
Didn’t he once call Jack Kent Cooke “the Squire”?

A one percent schnorer has some kind of nerve
A one percent schnorer has some kind of nerve


After John Lennon's "Working Class Hero"

    Summer school is in session and the Professor is showing how it is done! Too many great lines to pick a fave. But these have to be among the snarkiest three lines in your canon: "From gas grills to Caddies it’s straight cash homey And hopes to some day buy a doctoral degree Bet you’ve probably heard he gets sandwiches free" Love it!

    Perfect twist on this song, and sounds great. Plus - clinical proof that no amount of our species' sense of humor resides within the appendix. (Very glad you are back in prime jingling shape.)
